Any brand wall clock that works for longer period thats more than 10 years.

I have 2 ajanta big wall clocks that died after 3years by thehemselves. Repair guy says buy new ones as repair cost will be 300. I have these ones. Comes with 1yr warranty bought from dmart

https://www.amazon.in/Ajanta-Quartz-Clock-White...

This is 4th time i have changed clocks that are dying. My parents have ajanta clocks that run on one AA battery running from decades.

But these new generation ones failing.

Pls. Suggest

I've had a similar experience finding good-quality wall clocks lately.

Over the past few years, I’ve purchased several wall clocks in the 500-1000 range, but the quality has been disappointing.

It seems that paying more doesn’t necessarily mean getting a better product. For example, a 30cm model from Ajanta sells for 500-600, while a similar-looking model from Titan costs three times more. I'm not sure if the higher price translates into better quality, so I haven’t tried the more expensive options.

I decided to try Solimo, but the clock stopped working after a short period and ended up in the trash.

Two Ajanta 30cm round clocks, which are commonly found in homes and offices. One arrived damaged on Arrival, and the other ran backwards. The Ajanta clock that is working tends to go forward a few minutes every month.

After losing hope in a reputed brand like Ajanta, I tried a Rylan clock. It arrived disassembled, with the front glass and bezel loose from transport. I fixed it myself to avoid the hassle of returning it, and it is currently running accurately.

Interestingly, I bought two Ajanta / sub brand 30cm clocks from the UAE many years ago, and both are still functioning correctly. It seems that Ajanta's clocks for export had better quality mechanisms. If you know anyone traveling from the UAE, it might be worth asking them to bring back Ajanta clocks from there, as they are cheaper and of better quality than those available in India.

Have had wristwatches, table top Seiko clocks in the family that are functional since ages.

Have known others in the extended circle who have Seiko (Japan made) wall clocks too and those too are working since decades.

I took my uncle's old (mechanical' wristwatch and used it for a while, in my teenage years.
He too had got the watch from someone, but it was new back then.

If this might be a first game purchase of a high end clock, then I would highly recommended purchasing it off-line or after getting a physical look and feel of it.
(Be it Seiko or any other.. mid or high end brand.)

Put some thick plastic between back of the clock machine and wall. Hope this works. And yes quality of everything is a big problem.

No issues with Orpat wall clocks (running without issues for last 30 years!!

No issues with Ajanta wall clocks (running over a decade)

On the premium side, no issues with Casio, Citizen and Seiko wall clocks (running close to a decade)

Note: Most of these were purchased offline and use normal batteries. These are installed in two different locations covering different types of climatic conditions.

I repeatedly   comment  ever now  and than  that  online quality  of various category products is  highly  compromised  as seller focus is more on providing  discounts and gettinh commission  on sales .

The one that showroom  or dealer acquired shop sells quality is different

Now  we put New batteries still they go powerless soon
