About this product
This alarm clock wakes you up without the constant ticking keeping you awake beforehand. The non-ticking sweep seconds hand means you get a proper night's sleep, then the beep alarm gets you up when it's time. The retro shaped case with a glass lens and easy-to-read dial keeps things simple and stylish, so it'll fit in on your bedside table without clashing with what you've already got. It's got a snooze function for those mornings when you need an extra few minutes, plus a light so you can check the time in the dark.
The analogue display is straightforward to read at a glance, and the quartz movement keeps accurate time day in, day out. It runs on a single AA battery, which isn't included, so you'll need to grab one before you set it up. The alarm's easy to set and the snooze gives you that bit of extra breathing room when the morning comes around too quickly. It's backed by a two-year guarantee from the manufacturer, so you're covered if anything goes wrong.

Alarm clock
Simple alarm clock which does just what you need, particularly like how silent it is
Grumpy by nature
Good looking and practical
Bought this a few weeks ago, it's good but could have done with a snooze button on the top, instead of on the back, which makes it a bit fiddly, but on the positive by the time I've located the button, I'm awake so don't really need it. It's a nice size and looks neat on my bedside table. I would recommend it.

Not Silent
This clock does not tick. It does whirr - which you wouldn't notice unless its next to your head in a quiet room. Decided to return it when I slept in because thee alarm did not go off one morning. Turned out my wife had taken the battery out of the clock as the whirring had kept her up half the night. Other than that - no instructions come with the clock and the QR code doesn't lead anywhere. It is also hard to be precise with the alarm hand - could be set for 5:47 or 05:52 - its hard to say. It does look pretty cool though.

Mostly great!
Quiet, classy and nice to look at. It's accurate, though I wish the hands were pointed, rather than blunt/straight as it can be a bit difficult to be accurate about the time.

Quality Clock
This is a quality clock that looks very classy. It has a silent tick with clear numbers that are easy to read. The alarm is loud and the switch off button is easy to find in the dark. There is a little button to press to luminate the face. Very pleasing clock. Would I buy it again, yes I would.

Hello Rose,
Yes, this Acctim Hilda Retro Shaped Alarm Clock - Green has a second hand.
Thanks for using Q&A
Hi Nick,
Thanks for your query about the Acctim Hilda Retro Shaped Alarm Clock - Green.
No, it's not possible to set the alarm to an AM or PM time. It'll go off at the time the alarm hand is set to on the face, i.e. at that same time in the morning and then in the evening.
The back of the clock allows the option to turn the alarm on or off. What you'd do is to turn it off when you've woken up and then, before bed, switch it back on again.
Thanks for using Q&A.
