There’s no option to use music from your phone, which is a shame, particularly since it’s likely to be connected via that USB port anyway. You can choose to either wake up to the radio or a standard alert tone, which gradually becomes louder it doesn’t sound particularly pleasant, but that’s probably the point. Each one has a dedicated button, making it easy to switch them on and off. It’s possible to set four separate alarms on different schedules, so you won’t get rudely awaken by your weekday alarm on Saturdays. The numerous buttons make it difficult to access everything the S6 can do without consulting the instructions at least once, but setting up its basic functions is easy enough. There’s even a 3.5mm socket on the rear, so you can listen to the radio via headphones in bed – which I’m not sure that anyone has, or will, want to do. Round the back there’s a USB port into which you can plug your phone charger, sparing those valuable bedside sockets, while 40 station presets will cater for even the most hardcore radio fan. Although at the time of the morning you tend to be reaching for them, nothing but more shut-eye is all that satisfying anyway. They’re a little on the clicky side and just aren’t as satisfying to press as they should be. Unfortunately, the rest of the S6’s buttons aren’t on a par with how the S6 looks. With that in mind, the touch-sensitive band at the front of the S6 makes it very easy to delay the day for an extra few minutes each morning – sometimes, even by accident. Speaking from experience, the easier an alarm is to switch off, the less likely it is to get me out of bed. There’s even a Siesta button, which allows you to retreat to bed in the afternoon and be woken up anything between five and 90 minutes later.

There’s the regular on/off button, volume controls, a select button with directional controls, plus various alarm and snooze buttons – 14 in total. The Siesta S6 will take up a fair amount of space on your bedside table, mainly due to the large speaker grille, but also a result of the sheer number of buttons on the top. Its metal chassis is a world away from the cheap boxes of plastic you’d usually see flicking through the Argos catalogue.Īvailable in combinations of black and grey or silver and white, the S6 is reminiscent of most top-end smartphones – as if it were designed specifically to sit alongside your new iPhone or Galaxy S8. The S6 certainly looks smarter than most clock radios.
This means you can connect your phone and stream your own tunes through the Siesta S6, rather than having to listen to some unnaturally chirpy breakfast DJ first thing.

Pure’s Siesta S6 is probably the fanciest alarm clock you’ve ever clapped eyes on.Īs well as DAB+ and FM tuners, this bedside radio has Bluetooth built in.
