I like my bedside LED clock. It produces very little light, but allows me to figure out what time it is when I wake up--handy in the winter months when it's pitch black until well after I should be at work. Did I wake up in the middle of the night and so should go back to bed, or did I wake up close to my alarm and might as well start getting ready? I can check without blasting my retinas with my phone which, even at the lowest screen setting is still incredibly bright by comparison. It also gives me a beacon back to my bed if I get up to use the toilet. During the new moon my bedroom gets very, very dark, and it's useful to help me get my position.
I have two clocks in my living room, they're nice because I don't want to wear my watch at all times. I have two because the previous owners of my house just left one, and I thought it looked nice so I left it up. It's actually been handy because wherever I am, wherever I'm facing, I can just glance up and know what time it is.
Do I need any of these clocks? I guess not any of the specifically, but I use them frequently.
