This review is from: Seiko Bedside Alarm Clock Silver-Tone Metallic CaseI was surprised how big this clock is. It's about 4" X 4" and almost 2" thick. The build quality is not as sharp looking as I thought it would be, based on the photo. The controls are OK, but I was hoping for an easier on/off switch. Only the snooze and light are activated by the big button on top. To actually turn the alarm off, you have to find a small sliding switch on the back side. My biggest complaint though is that the alarm is extremely loud. I've had to tape a cloth over the hole in the housing where the sound comes out to dampen it. This has helped some, but it's still too loud and the cloth does not improve the looks. I guess I could sit down and figure out how to open the housing and muffle the sound from the inside, but it's not obvious how to get it open, and I could only summon the motivation to go to this kind of trouble if the clock were as cute as it looks in the picture....
This review is from: Seiko Bedside Alarm Clock Silver-Tone Metallic CasePROS: Comes with AA battery insideSeiko ascending alarmSolid constructionSnooze button that also lights up ENTIRE dial making it easy to see at nightNice size, not quite travel size BUT could certainly be packed for travelMAIN REASON I BOUGHT THIS CLOCK (besides it being on sale):Although the dial isn't LIT UP all the time at night, it is very, very dimly illuminated so that in the pitch black you CAN see where it is, then you can reach over and hit the snooze button to light up the face. CONS: Average looks, but I am getting used to itAlarm on/off switch very small on back of clockSame gadget on back of clock for setting both alarm (in, and twist either direction) and time (pull out and twist)I gave this 5 stars because it is a high quality clock that performs its function and is a whole lot better than a lot of other clocks out there. I would not pay $42.50 for it, but I would and did pay a lower price which I feel was a very fair deal. In fact, I bought three (3) for various uses because the price was right....
This review is from: Seiko Bedside Alarm Clock Silver-Tone Metallic CaseThis is a recent purchase therefor my comments do not span a great deal of time. The strength of this clock is its silent second hand which cannot be heard while sleeping. The dial is clear and can be seen at night without the built in light. The alarm and snooze function work well. The case is basic and plastic but adequate considering the price point. The cover to the compartment housing the single battery does not fit well and therefor it does rattle when picked up. The size is larger than what I have been accustomed to since I had a BRAUN alarm clock for many years. The Braun clock was superb and many years ago was considerably more expensive than this Seiko. I would have gladly spent triple the price of this Seiko to buy an updated version of the Braun but Braun is no longer making alarm clocks.All factors considered, this Seiko is an excellent clock for the money....
