SEIKO Nori Bedroom Alarm Clock ,Black

Overall, very satisfied with this product. It has the quiet sweep hand technology and keeps good time. The Glow on the hands and numbers lasts for hours and hours, allowing the time to be visible almost the entire night, but not too bright that It will bother you while you sleep. After having it for a few months, there was an incident where it started making an odd noise, almost like ticking of the seconds hand, which wasn't supposed to happen, but it went away after a few hours. I do not use the alarm function, but I have read that it is located on the back of the clock and difficult to reach. Also, the alarm is supposedly very loud, but read the other reviews for a better analysis on the alarm. As a standard clock, it works wonders. Overall, for the price and the style, I would recommend this product.

This is a basic, no frills alarm clock. It's quiet, the numbers have a soft glow at night, the light & snooze works & the alarm has woken me on time in the few weeks I've owned it. You do have to pick up the clock to shut off the alarm in the back and set it at night with the switch on the back. Set the time clockwise, set the alarm COUNTER clockwise like the instructions say. I think a few people had a problem with that. It is loud for my needs, you can hear it in the next room over, unless your room is huge maybe. I plan on painting the sides to match my room when I redecorate, since I couldn't find a "pretty" and reasonably priced clock that had these functions. A good buy.

Pretty decent clock. Like just about every other "silent" analog alarm clock that I've come across, it isn't 100% silent. But it is silent enough as long as you don't place it within 1 ft of your ear. The alarm is a bell sound. The one thing that peeves me off about this clock is that I can't really open it up to oil the gears inside to make it quieter. There is an alarm knob on the back which seems to be impossible to take off without breaking something. Looks like some sort of push split system that the back knob is put on, which you need some sort of special tool to push together. Tried tweezers, but I don't have tweezers that are that thin and long enough... Update: I managed to get the back knob off, by using a pair of pliers and an allen wrench. You push down the knob of the split pin with the allen wrench that is just barely smaller than the size of the hole, and then push up on the other side with a pair of pliers. After you get the back knob off, then you can take the back cover off. I will say that if you want to oil the gears, then you are in for one heck of a job. This clock has 2 to 3 times as many gears as I've seen on other clocks, so is not for the faint of heart. And those 2 sets of gears are separated by a circuit board. The upper gears I couldn't totally separate from the top part and the circuit board.. so that the only way to get at the gears was with a set of long tweezers. Anyway, I did manage to quiet down the bell a little bit by putting a piece of wood inside the bell area, and also putting duct tape on the contact point. I'm not sure whether or not oiling the main clock gear actually quieted anything or not. Maybe it did by a little bit. Still seems a little noisier than another clock that I have that runs on AA batteries. Probably because this thing has so many gears.

I've only had this clock for a few weeks, but so far it's working great. Nice design, numbers really glow in the dark, and it's easy to set up. The second hand moves in a continuous circle, not the "tick, tick" motion with most clocks. This makes it completely SILENT. The only thing I might change is the material and/or weight of the item. It's still nice looking, but it's made entirely of plastic, not metal or glass.

This is a nice little clock, easy to see, with a glow light feature, and runs quietly most of the time -- but the alarm is way too loud for us, and the button to turn it off is on the back and a little hard to find (the snooze alarm is on the top and works well, but it has to be shut off completely or it starts up again). It is like the sound of those old wind-up alarm clocks with two bells at the top. If you need a loud alarm, maybe you'd like it.

Plastic can either look and feel cheap and flimsy or it can accent controls, etc., in a luxury automobile. This clock falls into latter category and for the price that makes it a great buy. It's keeping perfect time so far but have only had it a few days so time will tell. My nightstand clock "test" has always been can I tell what time it is without putting on my glasses. I can. The only less than stellar function is the night light by pushing down on the top of clock. It makes the clock face readable but the lighting is somewhat cheesy and I've seen better. But again, not for the price. And it's Amazon prime, so there.

I hate to complain, but it's unbelievable that SEIKO (the inventor of the quartz watch) would put it's name on this Chi Com junk. They should change the model name to 'US CONGRESS' because it barely works. The single control knob is too small for human fingers, and is supposed to serve every purpose : changing the hour, setting the alarm etc. This shows very poor design, layout, and build quality. Every interface on a product should be well thought out, easy to use, and show efficient use of space and material. Not this product. The single battery is not powerful enough to run the clock mechanism : it will grind to a halt without any reason, and often, when the clock is running, the alarm will not go off. Oddly, even though the clock is supposed to be electric, it has a clunky spring-wound alarm hammer which the battery cannot power. You have to wake up in the middle of the night and shake the clock to keep it running, and make the alarm go off ! Just an awful product. SEIKO, stop making these in commie China, and try and have some quality control.

Acabo de comprar este reloj y me fascino el look retro que tiene. La pieza que me llego no es totalmente silenciosa, en total silencio se puede apreciar el sonido del mecanismo, sin embargo, al ser de movimiento continuo no se va a escuchar el clasico tic tac de los relojes tradicionales. El material es de plastico y es muy ligero, me da miedo de que facilmente se pueda caer del buro, utiliza una pila tamaño C y supuestamente dura mas de un año. La alarma es de campana y suena muy fuerte. Las manecillas y numeros tienen luminosidad en la oscuridad pero realmente no se aprecian mucho, tambien cuenta con una luz para ver la hora durante la noche. Aunque es marca seiko, el reloj es "Made In China", solo espero que por el precio tenga materiales de calidad y dure por muchos años.

basic, battery-operated, slightly glow-in-the-dark so i can check the time at night, super silent. perfect.

Der Wecker macht einen guten Eindruck, eben Seiko Qualität. Allerdings ist die im Lieferumfang beigefügte Batterie in einem leeren Zustand. Ich dachte erst der Wecker wäre defekt, aber zum Glück hatte ich eine passende Batterie zur Hand und der Wecker funktionierte danach einwandfrei.

Realmente o Relógio Despertador é bom, porém a pilha não é encontrada em nosso país, não é média nem grande, é um tamanho que só deve ter no mercado chinês, nesse caso temos de nos precaver e comprar as pilhas com antecedência da China. O som é bem irritante, mas já sabia como era, os gatos aqui de casa se assustam e se escondem, não se acostumam. Devido a isso acabei optando e comprando um digital com som menos barulhento.

Beautiful alarm, with smooth seconds hand. Keeps time very well. Glow in the dark arms is great at night. While the night light is there if you need it. Alarm is created by a tiny hammer and bell and is incredibly loud! I usually wake up really quickly now...thinking of opening it up and adding some tape to where the hammer hits to dampen the noise a bit.
