 If you actually need an alarm and need to get up before sunrise in winter, get one with an artificial sun light. And one with tactile buttons. 

I used to have this one, but not being able to feel the buttons is a nightmare, especially if you need glasses to see what you do.

 It's a fucking usability nightmare. For the rest it's a good device, albeit a bit too light (weight wise), but having a completely smooth facia where the buttons are is really really destroying the whole thing. I'm glad I got rid of it.

We used to have an ancient one, that one was perfect. But it died after 10+ years, unfortunately.

 Yep, started out with exact same one. Wonderful device. No improvement needed 🤷‍♂️
