The standard digital clock is very readable and has bigger numbers then the usual 7 segment LED. I think it's pretty readable, and my eyesight is poor. The analog clock, however, could be made less "fancy" and more bold (with option of a second hand!) The autodim is indeed slightly too dim; it would be nice to have a minimum brightness option. I think the lack of backlit buttons is the Radios major "flaw" but I cannot speak for the alarm functionality or software problems as I've not yet encountered any, other then the issue with cross-fade. Agree with what someone said about Facebook - it's blatant nonsense to appeal to the masses. You can't really blame em for that tho. I just ignore it.
