smaller than I expect but it turn out that I like the size which , of course would be great for travel . and the large , greenish number make it easy enough to see the time across the room . they seem like they might glow in the dark but do not really . which be great for I because I do not want any extra light in my room . however , I be mistakenly under the impression that this clock do not make a tick noise . and , while it be quiet enough , in general , I can still hear it from 5 foot away while in my bed . and that be too loud for I .
