I see either mechanical alarm clocks, or digital alarm clocks in Chinese.
I have yet to see a digital alarm clock in English.
I am still using my US cell phone as my alarm clock.
Has anyone seen a digital alarm clock in English?
WCIF digital alarm clock in ENGLISH?

3) Please post separately for each search item, not one thread for "olives and sour cream". Two threads, one for each. This makes it much easier for the moderator to merge your thread with an existing one, if any.

I have a very basic one from carrefour. so basic you don't need to know the language.

Would you settle for Arabic numerals? I've seen a lot of those. Not many that say "Three o'clock" in English, though.

I am referring to the electronic instructions of the digital clocks.
The buttons and menus are in Chinese on all the digital alarm clocks that I've seen here.

Without knowing Chinese, you can't program the clock.
I might look into the Carrefour. Thanks.

Maybe you can ask the clerk to program it for you? They are often helpful in that regard. Just choose a time they are not horribly busy and I am sure they will help waiguoren readily.

Why not just make your own? You'd be surprised what you can accomplish with a sundial, a simple CCD and a joy buzzer.
