Clock works well and is quiet –– no ticking. The built in light works well to illuminate the clock face at night, but wish the light button was mounded in a more conspicuous place, (maybe on the top of the case), instead of on the back, which requires some feeling around in the dark to find. Only thing I didn't like was this particular unit has something rattling around inside, but doesn't seem to affect the clocks operation. I ordered a second one and it DOES NOT have anything rattling around inside and works great.Elderly parent able to read easilyCute color, but it didn't work. With a new battery inserted the alarm never sounded (for the am or pm). I returned it and am currently awaiting a replacement. Hopefully the replacement works with no problems. The children will need this clock to ring to the high heavens when school starts in the fall.Update... the replacement was received and has been working correctly. I am now satisfied with my purchase.I like this clock! It feels sturdy and looks nice. The second hand doesn't tick, it just moves smooth and steady which is something that I find surprisingly satisfying. I don't use the alarm (loud beep!) but I bought it specifically for the little alarm hand. I use it like a dive bezel while working: set it to the current minute hand position and when I think to myself, "how long have I been working on this?" I can just count the minutes from the marker. I wasn't expecting much from a $10 clock, so I'm really happy with this one.If you want an alarm to set perfectly so you don't miss a flight, don't buy an analog like lie this. Otherwise it does the job.Very handsome - using it in my guest room. Nice neutral color.Very cute!!! Very loud and effective. I wanted to return it because only half of it lit up/ backlight broken- but you never really use it and I wish it just glowed in the dark. Beautiful coloryou have to turn the alarm knob 24 hours backwards to get it to snoozeIt's good value for money and keeps to time well but the clock I received is actually cream not white so will have to buy a different one at some point as it doesn't match where I wanted it to go in the bathroom.Although the clock doesn't tick its not silent it makes a funny noise a bit like when your heart is racing.It's OK and does the job but I wouldn't buy another one.When I read the 1* reviews, I was a bit nervous hence delayed my review for one week.The clock works perfectly and is attractive to look at. Only stopped once, and that was because the battery was flat!Have no hesitation in recommending it.easy to use, silent with no ticking, such a shame it can't be seen in the dark though so can't tell what the time is unless you put light on. Overall very pleased with it though.Cream colour although it said it was white. Sturdy, tidy, easy to read, nice light function, not too bright.Great alarm clock easy to use ring is very loud
