Despite being dated, this is perhaps the nicest designs of the Timex radio clocks that were ever put out. Good sound, easy to use, and the ability to pipe in from an auxiliary source. Only 3 of the four sounds are 'nature' sounds, but they sound authentic and the looping is seamless. It'll take some tumbles until a carpeted floor if accidentally knocked off without fear you killed it. Our original took a few too many tumbles so we replaced it and then a couple more for around the house. There's no bluetooth (not really a thing when originally released) but you could get a bluetooth adapter to plug into the aux-in port so you could stream through it.
