Peakeep Small Battery Operated Analog Travel Alarm Clock Silent No Ticking, Lighted on Demand and Snooze, Beep Sounds, Gentle Wake, Ascending Alarm, Easy Set (White)

The Peakeep and the Pluteck clocks look like they could be identical, so I bought one of each to find out. They are identical in some ways but not completely. I like this Peakeep clock a little better. The knobs and switches on the Peakeep are a lot more ergonomic than the ones on the Pluteck. That's kind of important on an alarm clock, because you will probably be handling it every day. That is the main difference I can see between the 2 clocks. Both clocks have the same limitation on battery voltage, but the Peakeep actually tells you about it on the instruction sheet that comes with the clock, and the Pluteck says nothing about it. Basically, rechargeable batteries like NiMh are not recommended because their voltage is a little lower than the regular alkaline type batteries. If you put in a new alkaline AA or even a used one that measures more than 1.42 volts, everything works. Once the voltage falls below about 1.4 volts, the snooze and the light will quit working, but the clock still runs and the alarm will still go off. So if the light or the snooze feature on your clock all of a sudden quits working but the clock still runs, don't worry, all you need is a new battery! I like this clock. It has a clear, easy to read face and hands, and every function about it is totally obvious. It is nearly silent, I can't hear it at all from 1 foot away. I am using it to replace a 30 year old Seiko/Lorus clock that has been the most amazing thing all these years and has taken many falls to the floor with no damage. This $9 Peakeep is not in the same class as far as build quality. But for the price I think it deserves 5 stars. Update Feb 2019: 6 months ago I put a freshly charged Panasonic eneloop battery (NiMh) in this clock just to see how long it would run on one charge. It is still running. The light and snooze still work. This is great. I won't be burning up alkaline batteries in these clocks anymore. I took the eneloop out just to measure the voltage, then put the same eneloop back in without charging it. I want to see how much longer it goes. The voltage I measured at 1.276 volts. An alkaline will quit operating the light once it gets down below about 1.4 volts. This is not as strange as it might seem. Alkaline and NiMh batteries have a very different voltage versus load characteristic. The voltage of an alkaline will drop quite a bit as soon as the normal operating load is put on it. The voltage of a NiMh will hardly drop at all under the same load. I have bought 2 more of these clocks and all 3 of them are working the same, good, and quiet. Update December 30, 2019: Of the 3 of these I bought, one quit running after about 10 months. The 2nd one all of a sudden got noisy after being used for about 9 months. But it is only noisy when it is laying on its back. When it is standing up it is still pretty quiet, but not as quiet as when new. Both of those clocks spent about 8 hours per day "laying down" which is of course the most stable position when they are on a mattress. The 3rd clock has been going for 19 months and is still accurate and reasonably quiet, but not as quiet as when new. That clock just stands upright all the time in the front hall. It is not used as an alarm clock. I don't think it would be a good bedroom clock at this point (not quiet enough). I guess I could conclude that laying down is not good for these clocks. Or maybe that isn't it, maybe they just have a short life on the average, with a lot of variation from one to another. I have a way now of keeping the bedroom clock standing up all the time and I bought a 4th clock to use that way. I really like the simple ergonomics of this clock. I would gladly pay $20 or $30 each for these things if I knew they would be "forever" quality like my old Seiko/Lorus. But they are not. The Pluteck was worse - got very noisy almost immediately so I threw it away a long time ago.

Nice and easy to use bathroom clock.The light is a nice feature.

Arrived quickly and in good condition. It’s an awesome clock! It is a nice size, easy to use, great clock face, and non-ticking noise. It even has a top easy-access large snooze/light button to illuminate the entire dial a few seconds for night time viewing. It is exactly what I was seeking.

I purchased this to replace a silent Seiko travel alarm clock that worked for over 30yrs. It was purchased in Tokyo and it traveled to over 50 countries in a suitcase for many years and without doubt handled very rough by the various airlines it’s traveled on. The Seiko had seen nearly every country in the world. It was used pretty consistently and never missed a beat. It finally decided to stop working about 8 months ago. It was sort of sad as it was like a dear friend and a travel companion. Yes,I know it’s just a clock, but it lived a long and well traveled life. It was still silent and the alarm was exactly the right volume and pitch. It was also something familiar that greeted me every morning no matter what Country I was in. This Peakeep Travel Alarm Clock is surprisingly a fair replacement for the Seiko, and for the price it does exactly what I need now that I don’t travel extensively for work like I use to, it’s a pleasant alarm clock that wakes me up with a similar sound and acceptable volume level as my old travel clock. It’s more of a stationary clock and it’s been very accurate and it does its job. I have noticed that there is a slight ticking noise, hopefully it will not get louder as other travel alarm clocks have done that I’ve purchased and given to charity or returned if they where expensive. The only reason I’m giving this clock 4 stars is that the description claims that this clock is completely silent. It isn’t completely silent, but it’s silent enough that it doesn’t keep me from falling asleep. I just hope it doesn’t continue to get louder over time. I suspect it most likely will because it was initially completely silent when I first started using this clock. At this point if it dies after the 4 months of usage I’ve put on this clock, it’s been great for what I need a bedside travel clock for now, an alarm clock. It’s been very accurate and one feature I really like about this clock is that the alarm gets gradually louder. It’s just enough to wake me up without startling me when I need to get up at a specific time in the morning. I’m not a morning person anyway, so I hate to be startled awake! All that does is make me start out my day feeling irritated. Unlike other brands I’ve tried, including Seiko, it doesn’t just start making that extremely loud and terribly high pitched electronic beeping sound that most clocks now do. I like that the first beeping sound is really low and it’s just enough to wake me up every time I set it before it gets progressively louder. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with this product as it is was a very cheap replacement to a great old travel alarm that I will miss! I’m actually looking for someone to repair my old Seiko, but so far every clock repair shop I’ve taken it too says, “ This thing is 30 years old, it’s probably going to cost you a small fortune to have it repaired.” But it’s a nice clock and it still works, it just hangs up and the second hand kind of rocks back and forth and stops keeping time. I removed the cover to see if the second hand was bent, but everything seems in line. It’s just an old clock. It’s solid built and probably a collectors item as I paid $30.00 USD for it over 35 years ago in a jewelry shop in Japan. That was half the asking price as it was a returned item. The main reason I initially purchased this clock is that the description says it’s silent, but I have noticed I can hear it more now than when I first started using it. For some reason, a clock ticking in a room makes it very hard for me to get to sleep. It’s just something that I have had to deal with. Everyone is different and this just drives me crazy. So as long as this one doesn’t get louder with age, it should be a good alarm clock on days I have to get up at a certian time. Time will tell!

Quiet operation. Alarm could be louder, otherwise a good item.

I love this clock so I bought an additional one. It is small but easy to read with the black numbers against the white background. I really like the light.. tall the button and it lights but it is not a beacon in the night.

I was looking for a good inexpensive analog clock and this is the one. Keeps good time, easy to see (great for my older eyes) and small enough to put anywhere or travel with. The alarm is accurate and plenty loud enough. If yu are looking for an inexpensive option, this is the one. I recommend this product and seller

Works great

best alarm clock i've had for years.

I wanted to stop relying on my mobile as an alarm and the sound of a ticking clock drives me mad so this has been perfect ! Easy to use and simple.

Not the smallest clock for travelling, but price and quality great. Silent and good alarm.

Exactly what I was looking for. Doesn't make noise, has a snooze option and a night light. Hopefully it will last long!

Delighted with purchase, it's well built, easy to use and keeps accurate time. The night light button on top doubles as a torch at night. Great, no longer rely on mobile phone for alarm.
