Not a basic wall clock for someone's office - clock is the type that is hung in classrooms, and is noisy
359514
When I purchased this clock, I was looking for a pretty large wall clock to hang in my office that I could easily tell the time with, without having to squint at my computer.  I thought the price seemed a bit high for the clock (close to $30), but it appeared to look like what I wanted - a basic, black and white clock, with the date included, so I went ahead and bought it.  When I received it, I realized why it was more expensive than I had expected.  It is a truly great quality clock, something that is hung in classrooms in schools.  It isn't the basic wall clock you see in someone's office or home.  One thing I did not expect was that it was quite noisy.  The hands would make clearly audible clicks when moving around the clock, which did get irritating sometimes, like when I needed a quiet environment to finish writing a paper.  Overall, this clock is great for any kind of classroom, but I wouldn't buy it for a personal office.

Nice looking little clock; unfortunately, as an alarm clock, it is useless.  The alarm is inaudible in a quiet room from a distance of 4 feet.  The stand/cover is flimsy.

This clock is attractive but the ticking is LOUD.  I had to return it because it was on the bedroom wall and was so loud it disturbed my sleep.

When I got this clock I was at first very confused because the supplier I thought was ordering from Old School Barigans, However, it was actually from Oriental Trading Company.  I went to put the battery in the clock; it was extremely hard to get it to go in.  Not to mention the entire clock mechanism kept turning around and around.  In addition the second hand kept catching on the minute hand.  I tried adjusting the hands so they wouldn't touch, but to no avail.  Finally to top it all off, the ticking sound of the clock is close to the loudest I've ever heard.  Honestly, it was so loud that they should use it has a prop in a suspense movie where someone is either thinks they are being stalked or a haunted movie where there are ghosts.  Props given to Amazon who refund my money.  Ironically the company did not want the clock back.  Please, Please, Please do not waist your money on this clock it is not worth it unless you only want it as dcor and not a functional clock.

This clock is not exactly as I expected.  It is smaller and lighter.  The numbers do not glow as advertised.  If you hold it directly in front of a very bright light, you might see a faint glow; however, it is Angry Birds and that is what I was looking for.  **My friend's son has had this clock on his wall for two weeks now.  It will not keep the time.  I have changed the batteries out 3 times thinking that was the problem, but it continues to lose time.  Very disappointing.  I would rate it a 1 star if I could change it.**

While the company may ship fast, it doesn't help the VERY bad quality of this clock.. It's loud (it did work for 2 weeks before it began losing time) Then when I tried to reset the time because as I said, it was losing time.. it never worked again.. Even for $5.99, I thought I deserved better than a 2 week clock..

It is a big sized circular wall clock. It's ability to be seen even in the night time is really useful. It is operated only with 1 AA sized battery and doesn't consume power much. It is beautiful and can also be used as an decor.

The clock is fine and I like the style. The only minor problem should be the tick tock sound. It's still too loud for assign it in the bedroom.

This is an updated review after speaking with this company's customer service people.

The clock still doesn't fit our needs because it isn't completely "silent" and so the room we were going to have it in isn't going to work. After talking with their customer service team they tried everything they could to resolve the issue but the clock just makes too much noise to keep a quiet room quiet. Ultimately their customer service was good and so I updated my review. Hopefully they can revise their description to say it's "mostly quiet" or update their mechanism so it's truly quiet.

I don't like this alarm clock at all - it's difficult to see the button labels, the switches are hard to slide and stop on the right setting, and the radio has a manual rotating dial which is difficult to settle on the correct station.  Even with a strong signal, the radio sounds distorted.  I've used Sony alarm clocks all my life, and this is by far the cheapest-feeling, clunkiest one.

However, at a local retail store I did stumble across the more advanced version of this clock - the one that projects the time on the ceiling.  Although I don't care for that particular feature, it has a digital radio dial that allows you to save 5 FM presets and 5 AM presets.  It also lets you choose if you want the alarm to go off only Mon-Fri, or only on weekends, or all 7 days of the week.  It also has nature sounds, which I wasn't interested in but now find kind of nice.  I bought it and love it.  The buttons even move easier and make better sense.  I use the cheaper clock above in a room where no one sleeps.

Don't do what I did - just get the more expensive clock.  It has a lot of features that you'll appreciate, and the build quality is way higher too.

I bought this clock for my massage studio after a client complained about the ticking of the wall clock. I was hesitant, because I'm not crazy about the industrial design, but needed a clock that clients wouldn't find annoying.

It work fine for about three weeks, but has now developed a pronounced ticking that is inconsistent, as though it ticks for 20 seconds out of the minute. Which is far more annoying, to me, than a clock that ticks off every second.

However, it didn't have the problem with luminosity other reviewers had mentioned. I didn't buy it for that, so of course it glows in the dark. And ticks. Loudly. Unfortunately, it's too late to return it. A bad purchase, very disappointed.

I ordered this clock because it was supposed to be silent and it is not.  It does not tick however it grinds very loud.  NON STOP.  I had to put it in my garage because I could hear it all through the house.  Also, the numbers are not yellow.  They are neon green.  I would have returned it but I threw away the packaging before I hung it.  A mistake that I will not make again.  Do not buy this clock unless you can sleep though the noise.

I purchased a different DecoMates "non-ticking/silent" clock a few months ago and it really was silent.  I just got this one for a different room, and was disappointment to find it makes a whirring noise.  It's relatively quiet, and definitely less annoying than the loud ticking of the clock I was replacing that could be heard in other rooms, but it's not as advertised.  So.... 3 stars.

I go to an OTB chess coach.  The person in charge of this club has been my chess mentor for about 13 years.  He started running tournaments in that club several months ago.  We still have clocks, but 2 or 3 of them have malfunctioned.  And, you have to wind most the clocks which makes them very difficult.  It's not just about setting the time, but you have to wind them.  Well, the reason why clocks kept malfunctioning was because people didn't know how much to wind them, so they wound up getting over winded.  I didn't want to buy a clock so quick, but with them malfunctioning, there were not enough clocks as new people joined this club and have, therefore, been in the tournaments.  So, I went looking for a new one.  But, the coach and I were on the same page.  We didn't want the digital clocks which are required in the tournaments.  Instead, we wanted the casual quartz clocks like this one.  I knew that we were better off with another clock, and it was a matter of time before I ordered one.  But, this was even better then I thought I would be.  The reason being is that I don't have to wind this clock, so there's no risk of it being overwound.  And, it works, as well as, the clocks that are still working.  With this one, there are now enough clocks in this club to set the times for all of the members in that club.

I'm pretty picky about noise from clocks, and if this wasn't in my wood shop, I wouldn't like it.  The ticking from most watches drives me nuts, so only people like me would even notice the noise probably.

loud!  it's louder than the dishwasher...  It's on the kitchen wall so it ok for us -but if this is for a bedroom or an office I would pick another...
and it runs a bit slow.  need to readjust every few months.
