Alarm clock with weekday/weekend alarm

tyllwyd

My alarm clock radio has different alarms so you can set different ones for weekdays and weekends. I'd like to buy a portable alarm clock with the same feature (not a clock radio), but can't find one anywhere - I wondered if anyone had come across one? I have tried setting an alarm on my phone instead, but since I carry my phone around me, it ends up getting left in my bag in a different room instead of on my desk where I need it.

If setting the alarm is a bother, why not buy 2 alarm clocks like this one:

Set one clock for your usual early morning alarm for working days and set the other clock for your weekend lie in.;)

A problem solved for less than £8.00.

Thank you but that makes more of a problem rather than less - the issue is turning the alarm off at weekends, so I'd have two clocks to remember to turn on and off instead of one!

What's your budget OP? I have a Pure DAB clock radio and it has 4 alarms which I can set to whatever day or time I want each independent.

I got mine for around £25 back in March but it had been reduced from quite a bit more (unsure of initial amount) they may well have been updated and the price may well be different.

The model I have is the Pure Siesta. Pure make a few different clock radios so maybe see if they offer this on other models?

I bought this clock radio for the very reason you mention. It has worked well, resets itself to the correct time when the clocks change etc and has a back up battery in case of a power failure.

I would happily recommend it and it also feels "solid", not cheap, lightweight and plasticky like so many I handled when I was searching for a replacement.
