wasn't as good as I hoped,

This review is from: Howard Miller 625-283 Aries Wall Clock by (Kitchen)
I bought this clock for my bathroom and maybe the air was too moist. It's a beautiful clock but after a couple of months the minute hand got stuck on the 8 and of course the time was way off. I putzed with it and put it back up and after a few tries it kept good time and that lasted about 7 months. Then a few weeks ago it did it again and I couldn't get the minute hand past the 8. The wierd thing is that if I lay it flat it works fine but if I hang it on the wall it does the same thing. Needless to say it's worthless. I read on another website that there was a similar problem with it as well.

Seems to be the best choice for a small wall clock,

This review is from: Howard Miller 625-283 Aries Wall Clock by (Kitchen)
I rcvd my new Howard Miller - Aries 8.5" wall clock today. I shopped online for a couple weeks before deciding on this one. This seems to be part of a series of Howard Miller clocks with Zodiac names; they are all the same size and style, but with different colored cases and dials: Aries (brushed-nickel case); Aquarius (brushed-brass case); Virgo (oil-rubbed bronze case); Pisces (brushed nickel case with spun silver-tone dial). I picked the Aries because I thought the `brushed nickel case with white dial' would look best on my wall. It was a bit difficult to find an 8.5" dia clock, as most wall clocks are larger; but an enormous 12-13" dia wall clock would have looked ridiculous on the wall of my small office room. *I don't find the `ticking' to be much louder than any of the other battery operated clocks I have in my house; of course it would be better to have a non-ticking (silent sweep) clock, but I couldn't find any available in the 8.5" dia size. *I didn't understand the description of the `mounting bracket' on the back. It turns out it is a plate on the back of the clock that twist-locks to the clock, and covers the battery compartment, and can be mounted to a wall with 3 screws. The plate is part of the clock, but you don't actually `have' to mount it to the wall; I think it is for use in an RV or boat, so it doesn't fall off the wall. The plate has a conventional hole for simply hanging as is. *For the most part I like the clock a lot, but the mounting plate on the back makes the case/frame stand 1" away from the wall. I think the clock would look better without the plate, so it would sit flush with the wall. However, considering what I've found to be available on the internet, this seems to be about the best one can do in this size clock. There are other similar sized clocks, but I think most would look junkier than the Howard Miller. I have other Howard Miller clocks that I've had for many years that I've been happy with. The price seems reasonable for a quality product. *When I ordered this it said Amazon was out of stock, but could be sent from I-Site, taking an extra 4-5 days. I ordered this at 6pm Mon, and rcvd Fri afternoon, from UPS. The receipt inside seems to be directly from Howard Miller. *Two Months Later: the clock has kept perfect time since I got it.
