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.

Attractive bedside alarm clock.
I bought this bedside alarm clock primarily for my wife to use when we are on holiday. She likes to check the time if she wakes during the night. The clock is easy to read and set time / alarm. It is a silent operation unit and is aesthetically attractive, with a sufficiently bright night-light to read the time during the hours of darkness. My only criticism is setting the alarm accurately which is difficult to set within circa 5 x minutes. Perhaps experimenting with various techniques will help as this has only been a recent purchase and not used regularly.

A good looking little clock...
A good looking little clock, nice shape and colour. Numbers are clear and easy to read and it is quiet. It is easy to set the time and the alarm. Any ideal clock for my Aunt, who is called Hilda!

Useless alarm clock
The first clock I stopped suddenly after a couple of weeks and refused to start again. The replacement alarm volume is too quite to wake me up.

Great little clock.
Needed a new alarm clock after my very old clock stopped working. I prefer a traditional design so went for this. Surprised how small it is but it does the job. Nice colour easy to read numbers. Pleased with my purchase. Doesn't take up to much room.

Nice looking but not well made bedside clock
Nice enough looking clock and very quiet but very flimsy. The winder to change the time came off immediately when trying to set the time.

Silent Alarm Clock
Great wee clock. It is bright, easy to read and nice and quiet. The only downside is that it goes a bit fast. I have had the clock over a week and its now 3 minutes out.

Lovely little clock!
Lovely little clock - the alarm does tend to be a little out from what you set but the actual sound starts gentle then changes and gets louder.

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.
