I got this as a gift for my dad for Christmas. He loved it! You can see that it's not made with precious metals or anything, but given the price, that was expected. It came just as seen in the pictures and it's a really sweet gift, especially for someone you don't get to see often. The time is easy to set, it comes with directions for time setting and for changing batteries, and is in a pretty little box. The time piece also has a protective plastic coating that you peel off, which is always satisfying.
