Philips offers a simple little alarm clock with the Philips AJ3600 Time Projection Clock. This clock has a sophisticated design and leaves little room for error. It comes with all the essential tools of an alarm clock and includes a few extras, such as a dual alarm, AM/FM Radio and sleep features. Although this alarm clock doesn’t have any options for different wake-up sounds, we do appreciate the added time projection feature.

When it comes to finding an alarm clock that can fit any lifestyle, the AJ3600 is a solid choice. Philips has made it an alarm clock that is simple to set and manage. The AJ3600 comes with a dual alarm system that allows for a backup snooze alarm, just in case you sleep through the first one. This clock also includes a gentle wake-up system that can give you a more pleasant way to start your day. Sometimes, alarm clocks are too loud and jolt you awake, but the AJ3600 alarm has a gradually increasing volume to gently rouse you. The sounds can be subtly low to reasonably loud and either way, waking up will be pleasant instead of a jarring experience.

This clock offers a sleep timer that allows you to fall asleep to your favorite music. This alarm clock has 10 different radio presents, so finding the right station to fall asleep to is easy. Time limits can be set in 15-minute increments for up to one hour.

The time projection feature is what we really enjoy about this alarm clock. This clock will project the time onto the wall or ceiling – so you can see the time at a glance, from any position. The projection base sits on rotating dial, which makes it easy to move the projection from the wall to the ceiling. You can also turn a dial and rotate the actual projection up to 180 degrees. No longer will you have to get up to check the time, all you do is open your eyes.

This clock also has a volume dial that gives you a gradual control of the noise. The tuning dial allows for manual setting of any AM/FM station, and with 10 station presets, you can conveniently listen to your top radio stations without having to tune back and forth.

Philips created this alarm clock with on-the-go users in mind. It is small, just four inches tall and three inches across, but is easy to pack. Its sporty design gives it the feel that you have just wrapped your sports watch around the stand the watch came with but this makes it hard to set the alarm clock, though. The buttons are located all over the clock so that setting the clock uses one hand to set it and the other to stabilize the clock. That being said, the buttons are large enough that setting the clock won't be hard. And finding that snooze button early in the morning will be easy, too.

The Philips website is a great place to find answers to any questions you might have. They even give you an option to chat online with a live agent. This clock comes with a one-year warranty, and a user manual can be downloaded directly from their site. You can also call them on their toll-free general support line
