Pro:
- Lovely, clear display with at OUTSTANDING backlight.
- Alarm starts out quiet, then picks up steam. No shocking jolt of sudden loud beeping!
- Display shows you when the alarm is set to go off, even when you are looking at the time. So you can double check the alarm setting at a glance.
- It's pretty small.
- Comes with a protective travel case (a soft custom-fitted envelope).
- You can see it in person at Radio Shack if you want to check it out. (They give it a different name, but it's the same unit.)
Con:
- It's pretty unusual that a clock REQUIRES reading the manual in order to figure out things like how to set the alarm -- but I had to read the manual for this one.
- Though small and light, it would weigh even less without the radio feature.
- Unfortunately the radio signal is only available in North America. Elsewhere, you have to set it the old-fashioned way.
- At least in my home (in central Seattle), the radio signal is only strong enough near a window, not in mid-room.
