We purchased this clock to replace a cheap schoolhouse clock that died. That size and style of clock was perfect for the space and it's what we were used to, so after looking at several other styles we decided it was best to just get another schoolhouse type. Seiko is a great brand so we felt that the quality would be good. I didn't care so much about the chime since we already have a large chiming pendulum key-wind clock, but I decided that if I liked the chime on this clock better then I'd turn off the chime on the other one.

Well, I have to admit the chime on this clock is OK but not as nice as the deep, melodious chime on my larger clock so I've got this one turned off. It is nice that you have a choice of 2 different chimes, and it may be just the tone you like. But in my particular case it just couldn't compete with the much more expensive clock I already had.

Having said that, the clock is very pretty and the dark brown oak case looks rich and expensive. It keeps excellent time. It's not close enough to the living room for me to particularly notice if the pendulum swings faster than it seems like it should so I can't say I have any problems with that. I give it 5 stars, since I couldn't take of 1/2 a star for the chime not sounding as good as my other clock. Still, that isn't a flaw in the clock - just a matter of my personal preference for the sound of another clock I already had. But it seems to be a good quality clock with 2 choices of chimes so I don't think you'll go wrong if you buy this.

Needed a replacement for a similar designed wall clock that lost ability to keep time. The Seiko wall clock had a nicer clock face with a working pendulum. Little disappointed in the chime tone, as the chime was a different pitch and different rhythm, but it keeps good time, chiming on the hour or whatever setting it is on.
