This blasted alarm clock caused so many problems for so many people with it's auto 12:00 reset and non-functional alarm!  I wanted to open it up and see what was going on, but the poor quality shone through, one screw stripped immediately without turning at all, even though I was using the proper sized driver.  So we have China hardware to go with a China clock.  Abysmal build quality and the sounds are atrocious.  Plus it barely keeps time.

In the end I tried taking it apart further by heating the screw in question with a soldering iron, but there was nothing to do inside, except maybe replace capacitors, but there wasn't much point, in the end it'll still be a China clock.

I've found a lot of questionable quality Timex-branded clocks over the years, which is interesting because they used to be known for their durability.
