Does anyone still use the old fashioned alarm clock?

we have 3 old alarm clocks in our house. all belonging to my father's grandpa's time, so they are special with emotional hangons. all are working okay as of now and tinkles quite efficiently. however, i depend on my mobile for waking up andguess, what, my father has his own automated alarmer. my father even takes pride in exhibiting our old, old, very old grandfather;s clock with a long pendulum which sways without sleeping. even i love that. so many clocks for only 3 ppl in the house...i better stop now. lol...

I used to set my alarm clock on my phone, but it just lulled me to sleep. So i bought an alarm clock that rings like a classroom buzzer. The same happened. I can't wake up when the alarm goes off. Good thing, though, that my work starts at 2pm. It's too hot to sleep at high noon, so I wake up sweating at 11 am. I have never been late.

I still have an old fashioned alarm clock, which the alarm is really loud. It's actually my husband's, he has been using the alarm clock since he studied in university. I am using it as a clock now, without setting the alarm, because both of us are using our mobile phones alarm clock function, and also the old fashioned alarm clock is too loud.

A couple of years ago, I was still using a plastic one, but it was not in good condition and I gave it up. I had a good stainless one and gave it to my father-in-law. He likes it and uses it all the time. Now I use my mobile phone for alarm o'clock. Take care.

I am not sure how many does nowadays, all the people I know uses the digital ones or their cellphones as alarm clock. Like me I use my cellphone to wake me up when I need to at a certain time.

My mom still use those old fashioned clocks no doubt technology has given us much more but at times its not about being modernised but what our body demands my mother has tried mobiles and all to get up early but her internal system does not respond to that as she kept complaing that she cant hear mobile alarms because shez used to those old fashioned clocks so now she has replaced mobiles n tuners with old clocks n you wont belive she get up the very moment alarm blows

Hi dear friend.It is said that old is always gold.It can not be denied.In countryside area, some people still use the fashioned alarm clock and even after many years, it will be kept in museum. Good luck.

I use a digital alarm clock, but I wake up to the radio instead of the buzzers. I really hate digital alarm clocks because they have to be reset everytime it gets unplugged or the power goes off. I had a good old fashioned alarm clock with the moving hands and was actually looking for it the other day, but couldn't find it. I'm thinking of buying real soon. They are easier to set. Lloyd

Yes I still do use an alarm clock to wake me up, if it is important that I be some where at a certain time. I can not use a radio station as I will snooze and listen for hours before I realize that is my alarm. All my life I have had the ability to wake up at a certain time, If I have to be up at say 6AM I will think to myself five to six. and sure enough I am awake enough to turn my alarm clock off be for it goes off. There was a time when i was taking medication and I would have slept through world war 3 but now I am accustomed to them and again I can wake up if i use my internal time clock, but if it is vital I am at some place at a certain time I will set my alarm just in case, but most often about 97% of the time I do not need the mechanical clock.

Yes I am still using it. And I have one similar to the one on the picture you posted. It was an alarm clock that my father gave to me as a gift when I left home to go to school in another city. So it's sentimental to me and since then I took it wherever I went to live. My husband tells me that it's so loud for him! But he got used to it lol

I still use the olden days alarm clock as they are the ones effective in waking me up.I need to wake up early because my college is very far off from home.

I prefer my new high tech multi-purpose mobile , as my father describes it . But he has one just like your picture . And belive me our neighbours dont require an alarm 1 clock 4 house , its a real pain in the ear. Thank god i wake up before that thing starts shouting.LOL.

I too use my mobile only to set alarms to wake me up. i plan to buy an old fashioned alarm clock, I mean a really old fashioned unique looking alarm clock and put it as a show piece in the corner of my desk. Even though we have a clock on out PCs desktop, it nice to have one on the top of our desks..

Since I have my swanky cellphone, I have never use my old alarm clock to wake me up every morning. I use my phone instead. It ha s advantage; I can go ahead check for my text messages and voice mails as soon as I wake up. I have receive SMS from different time zones so they come in to my phone while I'm sleeping. I'd like to check them out as soon as woke up so that it's imperative that my cellphone is the first thing I check every morning. Making it my alarm clock does the trick.

Well Asylum like you I use my Mobile more then anything now Sometimes I will set both if I have to be up really early but otherwise it is the Mobile only

I have not used one for ages =9 i just use my mobilephone as an alarmclock. It has a very cheere melodie as well and I wake up with a smile =) My bf has the most annoying sound ever and every time he has to get up before me i feel like taking his phone and throwing it into the wall =) Asked him to change it but he says that it is what get´s him to get up, the annoyment!

I would have loved to use that old fashioned one but I really didn't have a chance to see one. When I was little our alarm clock at home was one that plays a soft music and it wakes you up very gently. Now I use cellphone.

I usually use my mobile to waken me up any time I need but I'm still using the ring tune related to clocks. It's a nice way to use music for waking you up but I don't use it cause I'm afraid that I can't wake up, I can listen to the music and fall in dreams again.

I never use alarm clock before.

I use my cell phone as my alarm clock. I make sure I pick the loudest, most annoying noise on my phone so that it will be sure to wake me up. There have been a few blunders, though. Like when I didn't sleep well at night, I have turned off my alarm, woken up an hour or two late, and didn't even remember it. I would probably end up doing this same thing with a regular alarm, though.
