Stylish piece of junk. I bought this in August 2019 and by early November it had malfunctioned. The alarm goes off and rings 16 times very early even when alarm function is off! This happened after I set it for an early appointment one morning. I tried moving the hands through a cycle, taking the battery out and resetting but it is still malfunctioning. I reached out to the company for advice and have had no reply for 8 days. I am hoping to return it but will probably be “out of the window”.I thought I would have something that would last but am stuck with a lemon by Lemnos. I may as well throw this clock out of the window. It still tells time and the alarm does work, but I can’t get rid of the early “ghost”alarm every morning for 16 rings so that is extremely annoying. This did not come with any directions in English but clock seemed very straightforward- if this has happened to anyone else and any advice including from the company would be appreciated. I’m trying to keep things out of the landfill. By the way I didn’t drop or mishandle the clock and loved it for 3 months.Copy of my original email to company through Amazon is below-no reply so far after more than 8 days and policy is reply within 2 daysI am very disappointed that the clock is already malfunctioning after less than 4 months. I love the design but at the price paid for the clock I am very upset. The problem is that I set the wake up alarm very early for one day and then after setting it back to my usual wake up time it continues to go off at the earlier time. I tried turning the hands through a cycle to reset but it happened again this morning! I hit the snooze button then it did not ring until the later time set. Have others encountered this problem? Any advice? I did not receive directions in English with the clock but it seemed obvious and was working well for the first few months. I have not dropped it or mishandled it in any way. If the earlier alarm ringing persists I will have to stop using it as an alarm clock since this is disrupting my sleep. I will have to request a replacement or refund if it is defective. Thank you for your consideration of this problemI bought this to replace my iPhone alarm and to distance myself from internet temptations when I couldn't sleep. It didn't work. The clock is attractive but the stepped-up alarm volume every few seconds makes it irritatingly loud after about 6 seconds. The initial low volume is sufficient to wake me up without becoming irritating. I also did not like the 3-minute snooze cycle -- what's the point? -- much preferring the iPhone's 9-minute cycle. So now I use the Lemnos Riki as a clock and my iPhone again as my alarm.My clock seems to have a slight flaw on the face (a small black blob on the perimeter that looks out of place.) Packaging does not include contact info to ask a question about this. I could not open the battery compartment but plan to take clock to a hardware store for help or appropriate tool to buy.Not too big. Not too small. I can read it at the foot of my bed or find it easily on my bed stand. White face with legible black numerals (nice font). NO ticking or grinding noises. The battery DOES fit properly. Again, no problem. There IS instructions included, well written. The light is excellent. It is a tiny bulb that projects a few millimeters over the clock face. More effective than back lighting and not overly bright. The alarm progresses from quiet to loud with auto shut off after 5 minutes. YES, it is expensive and takes a while to arrive. I think it is worth every dollar.Easy to read; when it has not rolled over to the side.The two small clear rubber feet that have been glued to the clocks’ bottom have unglued and are now missing.Anyone know where I can find clear small rubber feet for the alarm clock?It's the perfect clock. It's silent, only lights up when I push the button and means I don't have to sleep next to my phone. It's very beautiful and... I really never knew I could have such strong feelings for an alarm clock (that weren't hatred!)This is an expensive clock. Looks ok, but cheap plastic backing makes difficult to insert battery. Hard to tell knob for time set and alarm set apart. The switch for turning alarm off is tiny. The on and off is microscopic lettering, and black like backing so no contrast. I would suggest just getting a cheap knock off version.I've been using this alarm clock for several weeks. I like it, but some aspects of the design leave something to be desired. It can be hard to adjust the alarm without also adjusting the clock's time, and the battery cover has never fully closed for me. I expected more from this clock after reading reviews online.I ordered this clock to have a quiet analog clock in my bedroom (all screens sleep elsewhere!)Beautiful design. I haven’t used the alarm yet, but hopeful it will be a gentle tone. The light is a nice touch.A bit expensive, but it was exactly what I wanted and was delivered faster than anticipated.ベッドサイドに置く為に買いましたが、なかなかデザイン的に「？」が多い中、これは良かったです。格好ばかりで肝心の機能や精度がイマイチ…な事はありません。必要最低限の機能(スヌーズやランプなど)は一般的な時計と変わらず付いています。針を合わすツマミには適度な固さがあり、合わした位置からずれることが少ない点は大変良いです。アラームを合わす針には指標が付いてはいませんが、クリック感があるので、特に合わせ悪さはありません。似たような時計が多いですが、視認性とデザイン性を上手いところで融合できている良い品かと思います。そろそろ一人で起きる練習をさせたい子供のためにナチュラル、自分のドレッサーに置いておくためにブラウンを購入。※1〜12までの数字と分の目盛りが明確であること。※尚且つ木のフレームで洗練されたデザインのもの。※操作が簡単であること。正確に時間を読めることと、デザイン性の高さと、子供でも簡単に操作できるシンプルな作り、この条件が充分に満たされていて満足しています。金属のベルの音はドキッ！！としてしまうので電子音の方が私は好もしいのですが、音は決して大きくはないので頑固なお寝坊さんにはちょっと頼りないかもしれません。てっぺんのボタンはライトのスイッチとスヌーズのスイッチを兼ねています。スヌーズは“約５分後”と説明書に書かれていますがスヌーズボタンを押した後5分10秒で再度アラームが鳴りました。許される範囲だと思います。文字盤はシンプルで見やすく、文句なしの洗練されたデザインです。木のフレームがコロンとあたたかな雰囲気で、置時計として使われるのもよいと思われる洗練されたデザインです。アラーム音がもう少し大きい方がいいと思うので、☆一つマイナスです。携帯を寝室に持ち込まないようにしたく、目覚まし時計用に購入しました。スヌーズ機能も付いているので、安心です。文字盤のデザインが見やすく、木の手触りが素敵で、非常に満足しています。大事にします。フォルムも色も優しく光るライトも気に入りました。
