Deluxe Wooden Radio Controlled Wall Clock, 282mm DIAMETER

I needed a new clock for my lounge and know from past experience that Seiko produce good quality products and reliable time keepers. I am very pleased with my new clock which has a pleasing design and is just the right size to fit my wall space. The clock is well made with clear figures and radio controlled reception. It is easy to install following the included instructions and certainly good value for money.

Eigentlich eine sehr schön und solide verarbeitete Funkuhr. Nur leider empfängt sie eine nicht für DE geltende Zeit. Obwohl ich auch die manuelle Zeit eigestellt und vorgegeben habe, kehrt sie spätestens nach 24 Stunden zu unserer hier geltenden Winterzeit zurück. Entweder klappt die Zeitumstellung nicht oder ich empfange das Funksignal für die in GB geltende Zeit. Was tun? Vor die Wand schmeissen?

Questo è un orologio molto bello, ma non funziona. Non è colpa del venditore, ma di Amazon.it, che ha venduto a un cliente in Italia un orologio radiocomandato realizzato per l'Inghilterra e che funziona solo in Inghilterra. Non so perché Amazon.it dovrebbe farlo. L'orologio continua a resettare l'ora inglese anche se vivo in Italia. Il venditore è stato gentile e ha cercato di aiutare, ma questo è colpa di Amazon.it.

Die Uhr sieht gut aus. Leider geht sie eine Stunde zu spät.Es ist mir bisher nicht gelungen,sie richtig zu stellen.

I had never heard of radio controlled clocks (or watches if it comes to that) and was looking to buy a pendulum clock but the prices of even the cheap ones put me off. I put in the Amazon search box 'Seiko clocks' and up came this radio controlled model. It has a wood surround and looks really good on our lounge wall, and there are no distractions of 'whistles and bells' such as temperature and date and all the other gimmicks manufacturers like to put on modern wall clocks. This is a SEIKO timepiece and they are top of the list when it comes to making fine clocks and watches. Even 007 wears one of their watches in a movie! Anyway, this clock is radio controlled from a relay transmitter in Cumbria, which picks up the signal from an atomic clock in Munich, Germany. It takes into account GMT and all you do is insert the battery that comes with it, and hang it on the wall. DO NOT TOUCH IT. It took our clock most of the day to find the radio signal, and it will move the hands around which is a bit spooky at first! Eventually, it found the correct GMT time and stopped at that, and is now working properly. It does say being in a city with tall buildings around you may stop the clock from receiving the radio signal. It comes with easy to read instructions and a guarantee. There are cheaper Chinese versions in shops but we are happy our Seiko is quality and will last a long time.
