By cons, it is not entirely true that he is silent. The second hand is slightly heard in the silence of the night.
It also seems robust to withstand a few falls and negligent aesthetic is very nice. It makes you want children to learn the time and numbers! My 3 year old daughter asks me regularly on playing for hours and enjoys spending time trying to learn.
I should add that the time is easy to read in the dark thanks to the luminous hands. However, the alarm is very loud and resembles that of previous models. The volume can not be adjusted. It is therefore not recommended for a pleasant awakening. Quenched by pressing a small button on the back of the object, in my opinion, is not very convenient for young children half sleepy, especially since it can be confused with other buttons for setting the time.
A nice sum object which has some minor drawbacks though.
