I do. I have had mine for over three years now.
Two times I have almost been in trouble since the batteries went flat. Once I have seen it shown the low battery warning but I am not confident with it. Better keep watch on the display, low battery and reduced contrast gives it away.
I use it mainly as an alarm but I also have a bed-side lamp with a B&O compatible dimmer and the Beotime is set to alarm with turn-lights-on. Nice (but not as effective as I hoped it would :)) Other than that I have only tried the remote control abilities and it does work quite nicely.
I use mine to turn my bv6-26 as an alarm clock on in my bedroom and I usedc to use it with my lutron dimmer. I unlocked the extra features which allow the lights to fade on slow fade medium fade and fast fade.
Use it for last 3 years. Battery change about once a year. Main function for alarm and triggering radio. Works nicely.

Yes, I used my BeoTime everyday to wake me up.

Use it everyday. Low battery flashed about 18months and died about a week later and that was after using every day and controlling Lutron B&O lights including sunrise setting at 4am!
Brilliant piece of kit and its a pleasure listening to the noise it makes at 4am to get up to!

I'd love to hear about the "Lutron unlocking" thing.
We've changed the batteries several times. Right now it's had dead batteries for several months, as we always seem to forget to buy AAA batteries.
