Nope (born 1980). I have a travel alarm clock that beeps for 90 seconds. If I don’t get up over it, tough shit.
I do have a cell phone, which I use for on-the-road communication after it’s been agreed upon. If people want to contact me unsolicited, there are other options.
I dont understand this complaint. There is no need to unlock to silence the alarm. It’s just like an alarm clock. I roll over and hit the button. I stare at the screen as much as I would a clock.
No. Just an alarm clock, and a back-up alarm clock ( battery powered ) if I need to wake up at a specific time. I don’t like “radio station” music at all ( unless it’s satellite radio ) and I sure don’t want to wake up to it. If I want music I have a stereo in the living room, or my itunes library.
The phone is always turned off when I sleep.
Not anymore. I got rid of the last one a few years ago.
Alexa wakes me up these days. It’s like a clock radio with voice commands (well some voice commands; it does not understand “Alexa, for the love of all that is holy, SHUT UP!”). It’s worse in someways - there’s no visceral satisfaction from slamming down the snooze button. But I don’t have to worry about focusing my eyes on the numbers. It will tell me what time it is from just “Alexa, Time?” And it does have a nice soothing voice when it does talk back to me.
Yes. The classic GE clock radio. I use it all the time. I can see the time easily without my glasses and I use the clock, the alarm, and the radio. Very handy little piece of technology, and I don’t have to worry about keeping the battery charged.
Ha! My mom has one of those in her guest room where I just spent the weekend. I unplugged it the last time I was there several months ago so I could use the outlet. It was still unplugged.
I don’t even remember when I last had a clock radio. Decades ago.
I have a clock radio beside my bed. I listen to ball games on it.
I haven’t used it as an alarm in several years. My phone wakes me.
Same clock that I was thinking of, too. I may or may not still have it boxed away somewhere, I’m not sure. I hear that same beeping alarm on TV sometimes and it still makes me cringe.
Yes, I have a clock radio. I had one I really liked. The display intensity was adjustable to a very dim level, which was perfect for me, and it had programmable alarms that you could set for certain days. So, i set my weekday alarm and then never had to touch it again or wonder if I had set my alarm. Then, a few months ago, all of the buttons stopped working. It isn’t supported by the manufacturer anymore, so I had to replace it. The new one is pretty crappy, but I still prefer it over my cell phone. Born in 1976.
I have one in a drawer somewhere. I just use my phone alarm clock now, although I usually wake up at least 10 minutes before that goes off. I’ve never been much for listening to the radio except in the car.
I’ve only had a smart phone for about a year, and I never cared enough to search through a million apps to find one. Why bother? I have a perfectly good radio alarm clack that does exactly what I want it to do, and it takes up zero space on my smart phone.
I’ve got two on the table next to my bed. #1 goes off at 5:40 with NPR. That gets me woke up a little as I strain to hear what Individual 1 has been up to overnight. I usually drift back to sleep. Clock radio #2 goes off at about 6:00 when I really need to get up and get moving. It has a piercing beep.
#2 has a battery and goes off even if there is a power outage. Kind of a pet peeve of mine but I bought #1, a top of the line Sony Dream Machine, only to discover that it has no battery back-up. Power goes out and you’re sleeping in.
If your personal preference is the old kind, more power to you. I’m not interested in convincing you otherwise. Your claim in the previous post was that they didn’t exist.
No, I have not owned a clock radio for many years, decades even. But I cannot think of clock radios without thinking of this cop I knew in West Texas. His wife was a nurse, and he told me her stories of people going to the ER with various items stuck up their butt, the oddest one being a clock radio.
Sooooo it turns out it is a radio. Shows how much I use it.
It was amusing, because the conversation I had w/ these folk started just talking about alarms and waking times. I didn’t realize the one guy was using his phone until he commented on “dismissing” the alarm. Struck me as amusing, the way you might “dismiss” the hired help. But he was correctly describing one of the two options when your phone alarm goes off.
Curious. Has anyone ever described “dismissing” an alarm clock or clock radio alarm?
I still use my old 1980s clock radio every day. 
I also drive my wife nuts with my mandatory 2-3 snooze smacks!
My wife once bought me a new Sharper Image alarm clock/White noise machine for ~$100. The stupid thing didn’t even have a radio, phone dock or an Aux in just a beep tone or a bunch of sound effects that made you have weird dreams and need to pee.
I regifted it! 
My gf used to have one. It was a pain in the ass that we never really used, thanks to our cellphones. Anytime our power went out for any length of time it needed reset, and would flash off and on until it was addressed.
One day I found a little piece of plastic on the floor of our basement. I was concerned one of the dogs may have chewed something up. My gf confessed that she freaked out on her clock radio. She was trying to reset the time and kept having to start over.
So, she took it down to the basement, raised it over her head, and slammed it to the ground. It broke, so she didn’t feel bad about throwing it away. Yes, she has anger management issues.
That’s hardly “classic”. The one I had as a kid was analog. Sort of like this one. And that was solid state, so to me “true classic” would have been a tube clock radio.
