What do you all use for an alarm clock?

·I have a pretty vanilla red-LED digital clock radio. The biggest thing I wanted was one with digital radio tuning as opposed to a dial which never stays tuned. As it turns out, I never use the radio since I download podcasts on my phone (to skip the boring/tedious stories) while I'm getting ready.

·10 plus years working second shift where I didn't need an alarm clock recently ended about a month ago. I had a good run of waking up when my body felt like it but I've been looking for some sort of alarm clock that had a watch nerd theme. I gave up the hunt when nothing caught my eye and settled for my phone which is always charging bed side, mostly because I can set it up to display the actual time with very low brightness for the 20 times I wake up and need to know how much time I have left till the dreaded 3am commute.
Side note: Doesn't matter if I have an alarm on or not, I will wake up 10/15min before its gonna go off guaranteed. Very annyoing.

·I have to be honest I do love when the alarm wakes me but as the years go by it is usually a certain pressing need 🙁

·Just a bedside clock radio. Wake up to the morning news, although the heat coming on usually wakes me first.
Ditto!

·I have young children. I have no need for an alarm clock. What I need is a sleep in.

·I like to always wrap up a thread when I ask for advice. I didn't find anything special, but settled on this simple analog alarm clock by Marathon. I would have preferred something wood or metal, but this has many features I wanted. It is easy to use, completely silent, and has a quartz movement with a smooth sweeping second hand. It has a nice backlight too.

··Home For Wayward WatchesMrs. noelekal has a fancy-dan electronic alarm clock that awakens with gradually increasing soft light that mimics the dawn and with a host of calming sounds that begin softly and become incrementally louder.
If I require a separate alarm, I've been using this watch.

I like yours. Someday I want to pick up a Bulova Wrist Alarm with the wiggly hand. They can still be had for cheap.

All wind-up. My "main" Big Ben at the moment is a Style 5a gunmetal case with luminous dial. It was relumed some years ago but the man who did that is nowhere to be found any more.

I think it is cool that you use and appreciate the vintage alarm clocks. I happily hand wind and maintain my watches, but I am not ready to add to that.
