Can't beat for the price - it is just as described. I've had it for about a week now, its accuracy is still within a minute of the actual time. Its a bit larger than I expected, for some reason - the digit plates are about 2.5" square (the ones I remember from the '70s were smaller), and the whole clock stands about 6.5" tall. I was hoping to find an AC powered version, but this one was the only one I can find - it runs fine on the single D-cell batter, which goes into the cylinder in the center of the clock. I also bought an AC adapter that will do 1.5V and plan to wire in a socket so I can power it from AC. There is a small bit of motor noise (you can hear it running in a totally quiet room, for example), and the expected "click" once a minute as the number plates advance. Take note of the expected delivery date - its shipped directly from China and perhaps not manufactured until it is ordered. The estimated delivery date for mine was a month away, yet, in my case, it was actually delivered within two weeks, although other reviewers noted almost the full four week delay, evidently. I wasn't in a hurry, especially as it was around $30 cheaper than other similar units.
Update a month later: still running great, time accuracy still within a minute (if not exactly correct).

I purchased this clock 3 weeks ago and have been using it on my nightstand.
Pros: Looks great, have not noticed any time drifts yet.
Cons:
If you are sensitive to noise, this clock produces something similar to as if you lived 3 blocks away from a level 4 rapids. I have attached a 4 seconds video, judge for yourselves. (-1)
Requires a D battery to operate. This is just my personal preference, but I would have loved it powered on AC. (-1)

Like others here, I like the design of this clock. I barely hear the motor. Do hear the "snick" of the number falling each minute, "double snick" on the hour, which just reminds me that my life is snicking away.
At first, it lost more than one minute per day. I decided to return it and buy another. After about 10 days, it settled down and now keeps good time.

Retro all the way
I purchased this clock for my desktop at home, owing to a peculiar weakness I have for timekeeping devices (this is the 4th clock for the home office). Read more

Exceptional...
The clock looks nice on my shelf and draws good attention. It's not too loud, and you'll be able to sleep with it in a bedroom.

Love the Styling but function leaves a lot to be desired
Looked great on my desk. Minute mechanism worked fine, hour mechanism sometimes skipped forward sometimes didn't change on the hour. Pretty useless really.

Cool gizmo
Good aesthetics, except for the somewhat obtrusive and cheap-looking plastic battery compartment (why not have it in the base?). Read more
