No, this is not normal.

All displays should be light blue, the numbers are dark grayish/black.

I've checked with my Beotime and they are all the same.

I'd suggest you ask your dealer

Best regards

Mine are slightly different, but my home model is the only one I've seen in total pitch darkness. The ones at the store all look identical when in low-medium light. 

Ok, thanks for your information, that means a trip to my dealer... ;-)

All three same color here, even in pitch dark.

Hi,

I exchanged it at my dealer. Now everything's fine, except that Beotime doesn't react when  you only touch it...  I have to move it (like the one before with the different displays).

I reckon that is fairly normal - the one I had certainly took almost as much waking up as my wife!

I have it on the magnet on the wall.  As the magnet is able to support a pretty strong whack w/o dropping the BeoTime, I've gotten used to just tapping the BeoTime pretty much the way you tap someone behind their shoulder.  Kind of rocks the BeoTime on its wall mount, but works every time.  Am OK with it.

Still, it is pathetic that B&O sells this thing as "touch sensitive".  Imagine if Apple claimed their iPhone is "touch sensitive" and yet required a small whack every time you hit an icon or control.

It is strange. I have one of those bedside lamps that is metal (base and post) and if you touch it very lightly it lights up. B&O must have a reason to only activate the lights on a Beotime with such a forceful tap.

So you don't accidently turn it on.....?
