Pros: The mechanism was a standard size so fitted right in place of the original mechanism. Hands fitted easily off the original clock so I didn't have to use the ones included in the kit (original hands in the kit looked far too plain). Packaging is excellent as it is designed to protect both the hands and the mechanism during shipping. Easy to setup. Cons: Radio sensitivity can be a little problematic at times. Manually setting the time can take awhile as the sweeping of the hands is slow. Price compared to alot of the generic Chinese mechanism is a little steep being over twice the price with the build quality looking very similar. Overall I'd still recommend it even though the price is a little high as Acctim do make good reliable clocks from previous purchase experience.

Replaced a conventional mechanism from old but liked clock that stopped working due to corrosion from the battery. The body of this radio mechanism is slightly deeper than the similar non radio style, but should not matter for most applications. The hand fitting sizes might not be the same as the ones you're replacing, and need some skilled work around the old hand holes to clear the old fitting boss and I used double sided tape to stick the old hands on top of the ones provided in this kit. I'm very pleased with the results! N.B The manufacturers' claims for the accuracy of any radio clock mechanism can be flawed when seconds per thousand years or similar are cited. There is a serious glitch each time the batteries expire!

Works well. Pretty easy to install even if it's a bit fiddly; online videos help. The supplied hands are very small (more suited to a carriage clock than a wall clock) but I was able just to reuse the ones I'd taken off the old mechanism.

It was harder work than I thought to fit this clock into the body of my old small clock housing. I had to persuade the old hands to fit as hands supplied where to long for me. Got there in the end though. It's very satisfying to see this clock set itself up & know its dead right! I would buy again.

Easy to set up and then keeps perfect time for the duration of the battery, what's not to like? There are different lengths of shafts available, be sure to choose the correct one for your application.
