I still use an alarm clock rather than a phone to wake up. The fact that I'm still using it is a testament to its durability and how well it does its job. But the one thing that will always baffle me is that it has a dedicated button for toggling daylight saving time on and off; a button that one would use, at most, twice per year. It does not synchronize it's time over the air or anything like that, so I cannot imagine why someone thought that made sense.
