A sweeping quartz movement moves the second hand continuously instead of stepping it, which is what makes it silent. Hands also beat a bright digital display next to your head, because you can read them by the glow rather than staring at a lit screen at four in the morning. The backlight is there for when you want certainty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come with a battery?\u003c\/strong\u003e There is not one in the box, so it is worth having one ready for when it lands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long do the hands glow for?\u003c\/strong\u003e They charge from the light in the room and fade over the night rather than glowing until morning. That is how all luminous paint behaves, and it is why the backlight button is there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it genuinely silent?\u003c\/strong\u003e The movement sweeps rather than ticks. Put your ear right against it and you will hear a faint hum, which is the motor, and at arm length it is silent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the alarm loud enough to wake me?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a standard bedside alarm rather than a phone siren.
