It looks like all the functionality is identical to the regular Memovox. Using the stock photo as an example, 10:10 is slightly less than 8 hours away from a 6:00 alarm, so the red JL indicator attached to the hour hand is positioned as such. I think the point is that one can set an alarm for either 6:00 or 8 hours away. For those who don’t like to do addition in their head.....
Personally, when I saw the countdown timer tease, I had been hoping for something more ambitious—along the lines of the GO Panretrograph.
Thanks,
