Timex T617S

Pros: Digital tuning; auto set; features; ease of use

Cons: Display is a little brighter than I'd prefer

The Bottom Line: We've been very impressed with the Timex T617. We might get another for the guest room.

Review: We'd had our old alarm radio for many years, and the sound faded out badly. My husband wanted a new alarm radio with digital tuning. I discovered finding one we'd like, for a price we were willing to pay was frustrating. I'd read lots of Epinions ...

Pros: Everything works great, is easy to operate once you read the instructions.

Cons: I have nothing bad to say about this product.

Review: Just had to write a review on this product. I LOVE it! Took the place of lots of stuff on the nightstand and headboard. This is a radio, double alarm, mp3 player (not recorder!) sleep sound soother, cd player, clock with a huge readout and 3 light ...

Pros: Good sound (for a small stereo), large display, quiet CD player.

Cons: Alarm beep when setting alarm is annoying.

Review: I was looking to replace a Philips MCR230 unit which had broken down after ~1.5 years (CD Player went out). The quality of the Timex is significantly higher than the Philips, though that's expected since the Timex cost ~2x as much. The sound quality, ...

Pros: CD/radio/nature sounds/dual alarms

Cons: Beep cannot be disabled; alarm/time reset awkward and takes too long.

The Bottom Line: I do not recommend this product.

Review: I bought the Timex Model T617 CD Clock Radio with Control System because it had nice features: CD/radio/nature sounds/dual alarms. I like the nature sounds, especially the ocean (the deep woods/frog croaking is downright aggravating). I've had this clock ...

Pros: Nap timer, go to sleep nature sounds, multiple wake up times, CD player, battery backup

Cons: Can NOT wake up to a different station then you went to sleep to.

Review: The one really bad feature of this clock radio, Timex T617S, is that If you want to wake up to the radio it has to be the same station you were listening to when you went to sleep. That is to say, if I go to sleep listening to a ballgame on one station, ...

Pros: nice features for the price

Cons: our product was not durable, and stopped working within a year after purchase

Review: Originally, we were very pleased with our Timex CD clock radio. We purchased it for our baby's room, and we found the sound to be fine, the nature sounds to be great (!), the look appealing, and the price about right.However, in just a few months ...

Pros: Sounds great, small size for bedside table

Cons: numbers either too dark or too light, difficult to tell time, snooze resets alarm

Review: I bought this radio specifically because the sound was good. I was interested in waking up to music that didn't sound like it was coming out of a tin can. This radio is great sounding.... but...I can't tell time on it!! Isn't that what a clock/radio ...
