Summary: It may be pretty, but it's junk. I cannot recommend.
Review: I was in the market for a new message machine, since my 1990 AT&T tape machine broke. Sound quality, above all, was the most important quality for me. I scoured the web for something that would get the job done -- the Swatch seemed to fit the bill. Not so. I am appauled with the sound quality. It is very bad. Both the outgoing and incoming messages are muddy. Don't confuse volume for clarity. The volume can reach high levels, which is nice. However, because the messages are so muddy, it is very difficult to hear what is being said, despite playing it at a high volume. I can't believe that some company can't manufacture a DIGITAL answering machine that is high quality, and sounds as good, or better than a tape machine. I'm willing to pay for one if it exists. Sadly, the Swatch is not that machine, and I CANNOT recommend it to anyone.

Summary: very good machine
Review: Our first machine (used telco memory call before). Very nice features- 4 or 2 ring pickup, 1 or 2 minute record time, remote ops (haven't tried), announce and record or announce and hangup modes (different announcements), time/date stamp, call monitor, battery backup.The audio quality of msg and recordings is great. Setup was very easy, unit confirms what you did. Have ours attached to standalone caller ID box and cordless phone (manual said this could cause a problem- nah). Have found no drawbacks mentioned in reviews of other machines at Amazon. Only thing don't know is how long unit will last.
