Seiko SQ-50V Metronome

This is a typical Japanese quality product. I needed just this one because:
- you can use silently, just with flashing (I am composer working at night, or you can use at the same time and record)
- it has somehow "wooden" sound, yet beautiful, not that cheap "beep"
- it has tuning A
- it is simple and strong quality

If you use it often, buy a rechargeable 9V battery (and recharger too)

I use this for practicing guitar.

The metronome is no fuss and could not be easier to use, dial the tempo you desire, turn it on and select one of the two sounds (quartz) and set the volume.. In addition to the sound there is a flashing diode on the metronome as well.

Sounds is very loud and clear and I find it hard to believe anyone would ever need to turn it all the way up.... it gets loud..

The dial for the tempo has the classical definitions as well as the actual bpm.

Casing is hard plastic but the weakest part think would be the fold out wire-stand that I think would break before the plastic.

Batteri is 9volt and I would assume it will last for a very long time.

My only problem is that the actual BPM is written is very small letters so you need really good eyes to see which tempo you are at and I think it would have been possible to have made a small magnifying dot in the dial to help you see the tempo better.

I think this will last a lifetime and is super easy to use with no bells and whistles (it's a metronome)

Should it break I would look for one with a easier to read dial/display otherwise it got the features I need.
