Al Fajr is just about the best prayer alarm clocks and watches on the market in terms of manufacturing quality and design. Keeps prayer times for over 250 cities (preset) around the world, and if you know your longitude and latitude, you can customize it to alert you to the prayer times for your area. The watch beeps 3 sets of 2 alarm beeps for all prayers. It understandably does not call the azan both for technical (battery life) and religious (e.g. when being in the bathroom) reasons. The volume level can be adjusted (7 settings) or muted.
