Quick answer

Choose the Timex T1300 if you want a night light with adjustable brightness and dual USB charging. Choose the Timex T232W if you prefer waking to FM radio or a buzzer and still want USB charging.

What each model does differently

Both clocks let you set two independent alarms and charge a phone via USB. The T1300 adds a built-in night light with three brightness levels and a dimmable 0.9-inch display. The T232W replaces the night light with an FM radio and a buzzer alarm option, plus a sleep timer and a larger display that you can also dim.

Trade-offs at a glance

  • Night light vs. FM radio: The T1300 has a three-level night light; the T232W has an FM radio and buzzer alarm. You get a soft glow with the T1300 or a radio wake-up with the T232W.
  • USB charging ports: Both clocks include a USB charging port, but the T1300 has two ports while the T232W has one. If you charge multiple devices overnight, the T1300 is more convenient.
  • Display size and dimming: The T1300 has a 0.9-inch display; the T232W has a larger display. Both let you adjust brightness, so either works for a dark room.
