I've been using this combined disc lock and alarm for about a year and a half now, and it's been used pretty much every day since I bought it, so one change of batteries (after just under a year) isn't bad going!
Easy to use, easy to fit, and bright yellow so not easy to forget it's on the wheel before riding off. I'd recommend it as a much cheaper (highly visible) alternative to a properly fitted alarm.
That said, the volume of the alarm isn't quite as loud as I'd hoped, so it'd be more likely to dissuade a would be thief who was there at the bike with his ears near the shrieking, rather than attract the immediate attention of the general public who were inside their houses. Still likely to dissuade the thief though, so it's a winner in my book.

it's generally a good lock but it's got 2 problems - 1) it goes off in heavy rain and 2) it's very fiddly to get the key into the lock which means that you end up setting your own alarm off almost every time you unlock it. aside from this, it's better than a normal lock.

I bought this as a disc lock, but when I first tried to fit it to my bike I struggled to get it through the holes on my brake disc. I put that down to fact that I don't have a mainstream bike (Cagiva Raptor).
In the end I found it easier to put it through a fork on the wheel, although I always had to collect my thoughts and steady myself before doing so, because it would nearly always go off before I completed the task. My speed inproved with time, but I had to give up closing the cover on the key hole because I simply had no chance.
I read reviews before buying it saying about the fact it went off in heavy rain, but I brushed that issue under the carpet as I though that would be rare. I can confirm that it does happen in a mild downpour. Saying that, the alarm was so quiet I only just heard it, but I thought I should go out and disable it (in the rain - by swapping round the way you put the U into the body) just in case my neighbours got upset.
In the end I decided to revert back to my old, simple disc lock, but I also fixed the Oxford one to the frame under the petrol tank, where it was protected from the rain whilst on the side stand. I thought at least then I would have some form of alarm, and the fact that it's flourescent yellow makes it a visible deterent.
Alas it was not meant to be. Someone then knocked my bike over, with the Oxford taking a huge hit, so now it's purely a visible deterent that lets out a dying chirp or two now and again. Would I buy another one to replace it? Probably not.
