Clock is cheap and tacky. Bought for a gift and must return it or use it for some garage sale. The GLOWING reviews for this clock are a clear indication that Amazon is allowing dishonest reviews by professional reviewers. To top it off, we discovered the clock is made in Commie China. Why would we want to reward this abusive government for their attrocious human rights and environmental behavior?? The same people who approved the massacre of tens of thousands innocent students in Tienamen Square are still running things, and if one has any doubt, just look at how they have raped Tibet. No more Seiko for us!
