multi alarm digital alarm clock - any suggestions ?

[whipper_snapper]

I am looking for a small, battery-powered digital alarm clock that can handle multiple daily alarms. I want it to sit on the chart table and remind me of the things I usually remember about 5 minutes too late - such as weather forecasts, radio skeds etc. (I suppose it could also be used for watch changes but that may cause it to go overboard)

That doesn't seem like a big ask, but extensive googling has failed to find anything small and battery powered with more than one alarm/day. Any ideas ?

Thanks

What about your phone mine can do this.

I don't know about a clock but quite a few watches do the job. My favourite is a simple Casio. I think the model name is Telememo 30. The code on the back is 1600 DB-34H. I have had a succession of these. There are five separate alarms plus an hourly alert. I have to say, though, that the latest one is not as well made as the earlier ones - the buttons are breaking up and the strap pin holes have worn through.

Mine can't!

My daughter does keep telling me it is an embarrassingly obsolete piece junk, but that is why I am reluctant to upgrade it.

What phone is it?

I'd be surprised if it didnt have an alarm, even my 1995 Siemens brick had one...

It's an old Nokia something or other. It does have an alarm, but only 1 per day.

I had hoped for a clock rather than a watch because I wanted a loud alarm and big figures, but I have just had a look at watches and there are plenty of options. I may have to settle for that.

Sounds like you need either a laptop or a PDA, if you want alarms there are phones, but to do all the rest you need more noodle power !

Mobile phone is a no-brainer. A decent one will have unlimited alarms AND will tell you why they are alarming instead of just going off.

Agree, they can be bought for practically no money on eBay these days, or if you push hard enough with phone providers such as 02 you can get a free brand new phone for about £10 a month including texts and minutes..

Went into Phones 4 U the other day, they gave me a brand new Nokia 6233 with everything - 2 megapixel camera etc, 700 free texts and 200 free minutes for £10 a month, also they gave me a free 1 gigabyte memory card and £100 cashback right there and then.

This was on an 18 month contract but they will upgrade my phone after 12 months at no cost

Just shows what you can get if you push them, dont let them boss you around andbe firm and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
