 Flawed but functional November 5, 2008
I've had this alarm clock for over a year. It's functional, but flimsy. Lately the buttons on the top to set the 2 alarms frequently turn the nap timer on instead. And the button to turn the alarms on and off will change the brightness setting of the display. It's just not built well. Then there's the option to wake to any CD you want. That's what I was really looking forward to. The flaw is that it only plays the first track of the CD. You would think it would pick a track at random. I ended up burning a bunch of CDs with one track only so the clock would use the songs I wanted for the alarm, but that's a limited work around. I'm currently looking to replace this clock
 VERY PRACTICAL October 18, 2008
I was looking for a clock/radio with a CD player when I saw the Timex.
I like the tall style and the dual alarm system.
I also like the fact that you can play the radio all night with the alarm on at the same time without using the sleep mode.
This is what I have been looking for.
 Waking up to nature sounds rocks!! October 1, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought a couple radios that said "Wake up to nature sounds", but they sounded so mechanical. Where do I begin...With the Timex T617S I like the choices of nature sounds; my fave is the Tibeten sounding gongs, my other half prefers the frogs. I so enjoy being able to control how bright the time face is. I prefer to have the room as dark as possible, so in the past having that very bright green blue or red lighting of the time in my room always kept me up. Third big perk is controlling how long I snooze; lot's of options. My other half absolutely LOVES the "smart knob"; being able to turn the knob to set time, versus holding down a button. Doesn't it suck when you go past the time you need and you have to keep going forward. Better yet you try and speed up the process by continuously pressing the button. It's everything we need, plus more. We love it!

I bought it, opened it up, plugged it in and The 'Nature Sounds' did not work. I called up their customer support and was told to return it.
How did this pass quality control?
This is a good looking clock radio with features that are desirable.
Too bad it doesn't work.
Timex better get their act together and make sure that a product is not defective before sending it out.
Poor Quality Product September 16, 2008

I do dislike being negative, but receiving an electronic product that doesn't work right out of the box was quite disappointing and requires some level of exposure. The volume control simply did not work at all. The sound volume was stuck at one, loud level and would not change. The Company made it such a hassle to exchange the defective article that it was going to cost me money to get an exchange. Thus, I would end up payng more than the sales price to get one that worked.
I would not be able to recommend a Timex product for the poor quality and unacceptable lack of customer service.
