Seiko Travel Alarm Clock Ultra Thin Gold-Tone Case

In the past 18 years I have had 2 of these Seiko clocks; this model for the past 12 or more. It is an excellent clock and I keep it bedside at home because it does not TICK (it is utterly quiet) but is deadly accurate (and won't fail you during a poweroutage!) The battery lasts about 8 years and is super easy to replace. It has some luminous dial markings but otherwise is not lit, and since we thrive on a perfectly dark room for sleeping, that is great, too.

I used to travel with it but these past years I have been using my pda on the road. That said, I will travel with this again...it is lightweight, very easy to pack, totally reliable, durable, and ensures that you won't miss a flight somewhere far from home, at least not from oversleeping or a failed wake-up call (oh, yeah, THOSE!).

Highly recommended. Glad they are still selling this clock, and it is pretty, too. Oh, and totally easy to set/use. .

This is a thin neat looking travel clock. Analog face is easy to read. Alarm is easy to set by turning the plastic front face. The alarm is plenty loud and increases in volume. There is no second hand.
I took the clock on my last trip, and it was ideal.

I am an international flight attendant and travel writer. I've relied on this travel alarm clock for years. My travel alarms have always been Seiko and this particular clock has lasted more than five years with intensive use. It is slim and easy to pack, lightweight, sturdy, easy to read, easy to set, and loud enough to wake me despite jetlag.
I'm online to buy one for a friend.
