I'm not the best at keeping time in mind when doing near anything, so having a ticking reminder in the form of a nice mechanical clock is a helpful tool to have.
This clock is simple enough: You set the time, wind up the clock so it runs, and you let it go for approximately 24 to 36 hours. I haven't timed it myself, so I cannot speak to how long one wind-up lasts. The alarm is the same, you set the alarm, wind up the alarm, check to make sure the time you set is what you want (After all, this is a 12-hr clock, it doesn't check for AM or PM), and then turn on the alarm switch when you are satisfied everything is set right.
One thing to note that I have to dock points off for is the accuracy of the clock. It either runs too fast or too slow and I assume that is because of the nature of how these types of clocks are built. There is a slide in the back that you use to adjust the accuracy or speed of each tick. It either runs fast or slow. I opted to let it run just a touch faster; if it is slow, then the chances of my alarm ringing late is high. Better to let it ring early than late.
Overall, it's a good clock. Keep it by your bed or, if you're like me and just cannot wake up without getting up, keep it on your desk or dresser.
