Seiko QXA566J Wall Clock, Black Dial

This is a very good-looking clock which of course is accurate and totally silent. The yellow continuous sweep second hand is mesmerising as it counts down the remaining seconds to your inevitable doom! Seiko is one of the best-known brands for quality and reliability. I have another Seiko wall clock which is over 40 years old, still going strong and as accurate as ever. Say no more. Seiko launched the world’s first quartz wristwatch in 1969. By the way, Seiko means ‘exquisite’ in Japanese. At 25cm (10 inches) in diameter, I think it is the ideal size for an average size room. Perhaps a couple of pedantic niggles: - 1) The black face can cause reflections at certain angles and lighting conditions. 2) The second hand starts as soon as the battery is inserted, so if you want it to be precisely accurate to the second, you must insert the battery at the exactly the right moment. It would be nice to have a start/stop button for the second hand to aid accurate setting.

This is an excellent clock for the money. It's well-made by Seiko, aesthetically pleasing and does not tick. Nevertheless, it's mistakenly described as being 34.5cms (14") in diameter when actually only 25cms (10"). Being 4" smaller than the previous clock, it does not cover the space left. Reluctantly returned.

Lovely design but the way the 'second' hand silently rotates round makes me smile....yes l do need to get out more!!

It's a lovely looking clock and it keeps good time, we keep in our office which occasionally is used as a spare room and its very quiet, it's a decent clock.

Really cool clock. Second hand is really smooth. Looks great on the wall and have had no issues with it so far.

I agree with all the other positive reviews of this clock. It looks good, is silent and for some reason watching the second hand sweep around without jumps is fascinating, I think it's because we're all used to ticking clocks. So far worth every penny.

The size is stated incorrectly in the description. It is not 300mm dia but 250mm. No matter it's a fine clock. Very architectural / Bauhaus looking - precise and the very best feature is the mesmerising yellow seconds hand that effortlessly SWEEPS round as smooth as butter... it's MESMERISING. Not had it long enough to confirm long term accuracy but most quartz movements are super accurate nowadays. Typically you would never have to correct them only on daylight saving or battery replacement they are so accurate. Recommended for designer type people and engineers who like quality, precision and good clean design. With one of these on your wall you can look down on all the ticking clock people.

Looks great in my kitchen and does what it should.
