“I debated for a long time about the price, but this clock is a beautiful timepiece. It keeps time within 1 minute of my phone. The noise level is minimal, with a small click every minute, which I find relaxing. The setup is simple, just insert a D-sized battery and it starts working.”

“I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend. It's a different kind of present and more for decoration than constantly checking the time. It comes with a manual in English, but setting it up is intuitive. Just a heads up, you need a D battery which isn't included.”

Could not be better!"

"I bought this clock as a gift for my daughter and son-in-law for their 15th wedding anniversary since the traditional gift is crystal. It is a very nice piece for the price."
