After I was annoyed my old analog clock with their loud ticking for some time, I have once again at Amazon for an alternative gesucht.Nach prolonged browsing and studying diverse customer reviews I decided for this watch model. Today I received the clock and I have to say that the design is very appealing. After inserting the two (included) batteries and activating the RC function the clock quickly found a radio signal and the correct time. And it runs really quietly, I could not believe until recently ..... And when it's dark in the room, the second hand turns off and begins to run again upon receipt of light. This protects the batteries. Hour and minute hands move however and on. I highly recommend this clock only and would buy again .....
