Many of us travel for business, and when you leave your home, you leave a lot of things behind such as an alarm clock.  Since we don’t want to unplug our bulky alarm clock, and throw it into our luggage, I would highly consider investing into a travel alarm clock because you can’t trust that there’s going to be one everywhere.

Here are a few travel alarm clocks that I highly recommend when you’re about to hit the road and need to wake up a certain point during the day.

• ELGIN Travel Alarm Clock: This clock is fairly reasonable in price, and gets the job done.  It’s compact, lightweight, and the tiny LCD screen makes it easy for you to read the time in the dark.
• Chaney Instruments Sojourn LCD: A great compact folding alarm that comes equipped with a snooze and light.  It’s black metallic style makes it look good just about anywhere you go.
• Seiko Travel Alarm: This is by far one of my favorites.  It comes with a silver metallic case, and can lock as well.  It displays the time, date, as well as when the alarm is going to go off.
• Seiko Get up and Glow: This is just like the one mentioned above this one, but is black.  Many others seem to like this one because of the style.  It’s light, compact, and very easy to use.
• Casio Snooze Daily Alarm Clock: This simple, yet reasonably priced alarm clock comes with snooze, as well as a light button making it easier to read while in the dark.

Most of these clocks are going to cost you less than a few dollars, and when traveling whether it be for leisure or business, you’re going to find that you will be thankful that you purchased one!  Never rely on the hotel clocks because you will never know if they will be working, or even be there!
