Can anyone recommend an old fashioned type bedside clock?

Not digital, not bothered about an alarm, but easy to read hands and figures in the dark. Battery operated.

Fed up of not being able to see ours in the night, don’t want to use my phone either.

I bought one recently from Coopers of Stortford.

Thanks Magenta.

Just looked at Coopers site.

May I ask which clock you chose?

We bought one on Amazon, for an aunt.
Lots to choose from.

I chose the one that is radio controlled and has big numbers. It is silver coloured and quite big. It has a snooze button on top that you can push to make a little light come on just long enough to see the time. I have had it about a week or so. It replaced a similar one that worked well for over ten years.

I like radio controlled clocks because they always tell the right time and self adjust when the clocks go forward or back.

After trying several more expensive ones I am now happy with a £3.50 one from B&M, basic, large numbers and battery operated.

I ask Alexa for the time. I am partially sighted so it has become a problem.
