This tuner tunes very reliably, even in pretty noisy conditions. I bought this for my wife as it's easy to read and use in light and dark.
The metronome function is silent, so, I consider it nearly useless. If I can't hear it, it's difficult to know if I'm actually playing a note exactly on time or not. Doesn't matter to me though, as this was bought as a tuner, and not for the metronome function.
The screen is easy to read, and easy to position. Two things I don't like about this tuner aside from the metronome: The whole things feels kinda delicate, with the whole swivel joint, extension arm, and odd shape, I don't know how long it will last. Being thrown into random guitar case pockets, pant pockets, accidentally being sat on, doesn't seem like it'll hold up against pressure. The other thing is that the clip doesn't open up as wide as I thought it would, nor does it clamp as tightly as I thought it would. It's not as easy to put the tuner on my headstock as I thought it'd be. I usually keep my capo on my guitar's headstock too, so it's a little tricky managing both up there. When returning my capo to the headstock, I easily move the tuner out of place. The two swivel joints make it easy to re-position the screen though.
I like the paint job, it's classy. I'm not even a fan of red, but this looks good.
The tuner is certainly consistent, far more than most other tuners I've used. It's accuracy is enough to have my Taylor guitar sound great on stage. It saves me a lot of time. With the more accurate tuners I use, from a plugin on my laptop to a Korg guitar tuner, it usually takes me longer with a lot of interpreting to get my guitar to sound just as in tune.
In a little while, I'll definitely be buying one for myself. I recommend this Snark SN-2 over the other models they offer because it's chromatic and because it has a microphone. I bought it based on reviews I read about how I can use this for my guitars (acoustic and electric), and for other things like violin, trumpets, saxophone, whatever. The reviews didn't let me down.

The Snark ST-2 - The Best Tuner? Full Review

Shocked at the quality!
I have owned many tuners over the last 20 years. I am not a fan of iPhone app tuners. My old tuner is really bulky and I wanted something easier to see.I reluctantly ordered this tuner because I am accustomed to paying $80-100 for a decent tuner, and I believed there was no way this tiny little tuner could accomplish anything. Boy, was I wrong!When it arrived, I was shocked at the quality of the soft touch plastic and the brightness and crispness of the screen. My old tuner used little LED lights and they are fine but it was a huge tuner which didn't attach to my instrument.I adjusted the clip and mount, and that's when I noticed the switch to tune via Vibration or Mic. This is an incredibly important feature if you play in a band or in orchestra where there are many external sounds happening. I bought this tuner to play my harp at home but I still prefer tuning via Vibration.As I began tuning my harp, I realized just how great this tuner is because the screen was so easy to see. At around 1" I didn't think it would be easy to see, but the layout is everything. The various colors also contribute to this excellent little workhorse.I didn't know it had a visual metronome when I bought it, but that doesn't do me much good because I prefer a classic audible metronome. It comes with a little pouch.Overall, I am completely impressed with this beauty. No more Korg tuner with the pickup mic. No more hauling around one more piece of equipment.Bottom line: absolutely 5 stars for being an excellent tuner, killer price, easy to use, easy to carry, no learning curve.
