I think that I will continue to use my clock set on my smart phone...after my daughter showed me how easy and fast is was to use, I use it all the time.
That's a shame. Maybe they ended up with a bad batch..?
My 1st one I used for 3 or 4 years till my lawnmower ate it....
I have bought a few of them. The ones I've used, usually last a few years...then they seem to start sticking in the 'on' position.
