 This is a good, quiet clock!Apr 10, 2011
By Buzzsaw
Why is it that all over the web it's hard to be sure if you're getting a quiet clock without a lot of research? Even then you don't really know what you have until you get it. I wish there was a universal description for quiet clocks, as in "quiet sweep action" or "very faint tick" or "standard loud tick".
Plus some reviewers aren't helpful because some don't know they're half deaf! Because of what I've done for a living (recording engineer who doesn't use really loud speakers), my hearing and sense of detail is reliable. I can hear a wristwatch alarm in a room almost to the opposite end of the house from where I am. I say all this as I really can't stand listening to "tick tock" while I'm focusing on work, I find it irritatingly distracting.
I needed something for the kitchen with a design that was reasonably appropriate. Sometimes I have to use the kitchen table as a workspace.
This has a silvery bezel, black face and the hands and numerals are very light green, as they are luminescent. But you won't likely be using that feature, as they don't glow very much at all after being exposed to typical kitchen lights. But I didn't get it for that.
The good news is that you can't hear it tick until you put it within a foot of your head, and even at 3 inches from your ear, it's quieter than a typical loud clock at 30 feet. So this is a winner for me. Size is about 11.5 inches, give or take a quarter inch. The outer portion of the bezel is offset from the rear by about 1.5 to 2 inches, which is to say the bezel is not flush with the wall. Worked out great for me as mine overlaps the top of a door sill perfectly, so I didn't have to move the nail that was there previously.
I highly recommend this clock as one suitable for average space, though not for an "elegant space", but it still looks better than a clock from a school wall! Very visible, very quiet.

Still In the Dark - Wait! I See the Light.Oct 20, 2010
By Mister Mash
This clock does not glow in the dark in the least. I exposed it to direct sunlight for two straight days hoping that would somehow "energize" the florescence. It did glow at noon when tested in the bathroom, but by night when I went to hang in on the wall: nothing. Keeps time fine, but I could have paid less if I only wanted a simple clock. Will be returning this to Amazon for credit. As I was preparing this for shipping, I thought I would see if perhaps the AA battery which came with the clock would make a difference. I found it was not a simple AA, but an "R6+AA" battery from Panasonic. I then did the closed bathroom door test and the clock is very bright, working as I had hoped. So, I am now keeping the clock and recommending others to buy it. Just be sure to use the battery that comes with the clock. To fair to myself, the brief instructions from Seiko do not specificy this unique battery is required. I may be revising my review once more if I can never find an "R6+AA" replacement! Cheers.

Nice ClockNov 12, 2010
By Nancy Gonzalez
This is a nice clock. Good quality and I could see it in the dark. Unlike the other reviewer said though this does "charge" with light because I covered half of it once and that part didn't glow. I am pretty sure they use regular AA batteries as well, although I used the provided ones. Would buy again.

 Insufficient lightApr 08, 2011
By RNBY
"Rnby"
The light doesn't work the whole night, only the first few hours (2 / 3)
So if I wake up after 3am and want to see the time I can't see it because it is not lit up anymore.

Nice, but not very luminousMar 06, 2011
By J. B. Fahnline
This is a nice clock, but the glow in the dark numbers and arms are not visible in the dark from any distance. I don't have it in a location where it is exposed to direct sunlight, which I'm sure would help.
