 Large Display, Easy Operation, Clean AppearanceNov 12, 2007
By Lynn Cartwright
Some reviews made me hesitate to buy this clock, but after taking the leap I've decided it was a good purchase. This clock was replacement for an old Seiko travel alarm no longer on the market which I'd used to help set all other clocks in our house. Needless to say, it was necessary to replace after many long years of service. RIP little buddy.
What I love about this new clock is the large display which is much easier to quickly view for aging eyes. Having month, date, and day of the week is also helpful, but the thermometer is amazingly accurate to my surprise, and quite a bonus. We don't have auto thermostats in our home, so it's great knowing when the house is getting chilly enough to turn a dial to reduce energy and costs... not to mention when it's time to put on a bathing suit and head for the ocean when it's getting too hot!
Out of the box it took a little time to read instructions and comprehend how everything was designed, but it's fairly straight forward once you do, and doesn't take a lot of brain matter. It didn't jump up and grab an immediate reading for atomic time, however it does work I've discovered. You must keep it clear of electronic interference first. I'd fiddled around, letting the clock seek stations around the world, then set it to only seek in the USA. Finally gave up and set it manually, put the clock back on AUTO for the USA, and left it alone on the end table next to our bed. Later the same evening upon retirement, I noticed my little clock was hours (not minutes) off. Hmmm, so I took the back panel off and pushed the daylight savings time button a couple of times and it was instantly corrected. It's worked ever since and is not only picking up the USA station, but adjusting DST as well. What more could I ask?
Back years ago I sold fine jewelry for a major department store as a first job out of high school, and Seiko was always one of our better products. So were Casio and Timex for that matter. From what I've seen since, there is no reason to believe Seiko quality has faltered and they still make an excellent product, right down to their lower end products. They also make Pulsar line which are equally manufactured, less expensive, yet slightly less attractive than their Seiko line. I'm happy to be able to say I still recommend them.
I've uploaded a couple photos for a clear view of the clock face, and comparison of the clock size next to other recognizable objects.

 Neat little travel clockSep 04, 2006
By CyberSimba
A useful travel product with two alarms, date, month and day display. It also shows you the current temperature. I actually did not purchase this one, instead got it in return for my credit card points. However I am satisfied with its functions.
-The first time you start this clock, just wait for 20 minutes as mentioned in the manual. It automatically synchronizes to the local time after that.
-It does work in other parts of the world and you don't have to adjust anything, it just communicates with local radio towers and synchronizes the time and temperature values.
-You can set it in auto mode where it autmoatically synchronizes the time or if you want you can set it manually yourself.
-It has two set of alarms and also supports DST time.
-It has regular snooze function and a light next to the LCD inside so that you could see the time even at night.
-The alarm is loud enough. I find it not too loud and not too soft either. Good thing is alarm starts at lower volume and gradually increases its volume.
-It comes with a flap that acts as a stand when opened and acts as a cover when closed.
-It runs on two AAA batteries (included in the package).
I think its a good product and useful, too. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because I thought seiko could make this little more sleeker, may be smaller in size/weight/depth.

Works great for meNov 10, 2007
By Beartrap88
I found this item to be easy to set up and use with the simple but thorough manual (it's a good idea to take the instruction sheet along when you travel). I have now used this clock in various US/Canadian time zones and Japan, and it has never failed gets the radio signal and automatically set the time in each country, with a simple button press needed to adjust the North American time zone other than ET. Large, clear display of time, smaller but easily readable day, date, and temperature (C or F); includes back-light button. Folds compactly into its stand for travel. DST on-off adjustments were automatic overnight on the new dates. Good alarm, with 5-minute snooze button. I'm quite satisfied.

Overall Best I Could FindSep 18, 2008
By DiamondJag
I did considerable research before I bought this travel alarm. I make occasional trips out of the country and the alarm I was using needed one of those round batteries. Try to find them in some countries overseas. So #1 I wanted the alarm to use AA batteries only. Next, I wanted to see the temperature. It's hard to get the temperature set right for sleeping in many hotel rooms. Knowing the temperature in the room (and anywhere else you might want to use it) I find helpful. I wanted a good light so I could see the time in the middle of the night. I wanted the numbers readable. The day and date is helpful. The Seiko R-Wave met all my requirements. It is a little heavier than I expected but then it's built studier then most travel alarms. I like the "crescendo" alarm. The over the air time set is fine and worked well but is something I don't require. Opening the back to set some settings is no big deal. The only thing I would have liked is to be able to chose between alarm sound...nature..etc. Overall, the best I could find. I'm very happy with it.

 Almost thereDec 28, 2009
By Sideslip
This is a replacement for a Brookstone alarm clock, also radio controlled and also, as I'd forgotten, not able to receive a signal in the middle of Manhattan in an apartment surrounded by tall buildings. I had to manually set the Brookstone as I did the Seiko after several attempts to have it done automatically. It was fairly simple to set the time, date etc. If I'd remembered, I would have saved a little money and eschewed the radio-controlled setting feature. "Atomic" does not mean GPS-enabled. However, the Brookstone kept good time as I'm sure the (quartz) Seiko will.
The buttons- especially "Reset" and "RC ON/OFF" - for effecting the various settings are, like the Brookstone, small and make it difficult to engage without an implement (ball point pen, e.g.). I understand the need to avoid inadvertently pressing them - in the Brookstone they're in the back of the clock and exposed - but in the Seiko are ordinarily protected by a cover. Seems unnecessarily cautious and fussy.
The up/down buttons for the alarm, unlike the Brookstone are on the front of the clock and are also used to set the clock, date, etc., when the "Set" button is engaged on the back panel. Sensibly, the up down buttons display the alarm time when pressed and enable the alarm setting to be changed without having to press a "modifier" button on the back panel. The buttons are large and make it easy to change the alarm setting; probably the setting that gets the most use, at least on my clock. The alarm is only visible after pressing either the up or down button, but this is not a problem. The small buttons for changing the alarm on the Brookstone were daunting.
The clock is trim - about half the height of the Brookstone - and doesn't overwhelm the small nightstand on which it sits. The display is a pleasant amber that makes the characters of the clock "pop", and while it's apparent in the daylight that the light source is in the lower right hand of the screen, the light is evenly diffused across the screen in the dark. The light is engaged using the same button that puts the alarm into snooze. To turn the alarm completely off, there is a small ON/OFF slide on the right side of the clock; a small aggravation. The Brookstone's alarm was turned off by touching the screen - I'll miss that. Snooze on the Brookstone was selected by sliding a separate, large switch.
The Seiko's metallic finish is pleasant and unfussy. The foot of the clock swings around and nestles neatly onto the front for traveling. I'm looking forward to not having to divine the workings of the various clocks in hotels and inns we stay.
