Review by F. Fernandez Posse for Seiko DM50L Metronome, Silver Rating: Pros--This is a great metronome. Selectable sounds and loudness, very easy to use. Very light and it clips nicely.
Cons--I can't believe such a simple device is so expensive. It can't possibly cost more than 1 dollar to manufacture. Based on pictures, and price, I would imagine it would have a metal casing, but it is painted plastic

Overall--compared to many out there this is just great! In funtionality I would have given it 5 stars, but I am just giving it 4 due to cost and the how cheaply made it is (I thought about giving it 3, however it does what I want it do do perfectly).

By the way I use this one to run (helps me keep a fast cadence) so its small form factor and clip are priceless.

Review by Robert Koga for Seiko DM50L Metronome, Silver Rating: I am fairly satisfied with this purchase. While it's extremely compact, fairly inexpensive, and has a decent variety of functions, it's practical use is only when using a drumpad or other simgle milder tones (as oppose to a drum set or instrumental ensemble). The sound easily gets drowned out and does not carry well (I would liken the sound tothe beep of my digital running watch's alarm).

Overall I would say it is a great tool to begin rhythm basics during practice, but a louder metronome should be considered to accompany actual instruments when composing or preparing for a performance.

Review by E. Ban for Seiko DM50L Metronome, Silver Rating: This is the best metronome I have ever owned. 30-250 beats per minute, adjustable by increments of 1's and 10's, subdivisions available, volume capability is high, battery lasts a long time. Couldn't ask for much more.

Cons: It's so easy to lose!

Review by R. Koziar for Seiko DM50L Metronome, Silver Rating: I purchased this item to help set a cadence in my golf swing, on the recommendation of a friend who had tried the method. This metronome is easy to use, very portable (even has a clip so you can clip it to your belt), and loud enough for you to hear but not so loud as to be a nuisance to others who might be close by. Additionally, it is durable and is a relatively inexpensive item that has been reliable. Using this has helped my golf swing tempo, also.

Review by W for Seiko DM50L Metronome, Silver Rating: The metronome is extremely easy to use and have enough functionalities for the need of a new piano leaner like me. The volume is adjustable, and can be turned off and show LED blinks only. I particularly like the compact design, which also function perfectly as clip for my piano books.
