Large Digital Atomic Wall Clock--A Friendly Review

Large numbers and easy to read. The automatic time keeper works well so therefore is always on perfect time. The temperature readout (which is why I purchased it) works well and seems to be very accurate. I have owned a La Crosse weather station for about 4 years now and it works great so therefore I thought another smaller indoor unit for the baby's room would be a good idea. The first one was shipped out for free.

Positives
- Giant and high contrast display, easy-to-read from far across a room

- Easy to follow instruction, and the web address for the instruction is printed right next to the battery compartment ( handy, since we need to refer to instruction when we change the batteries )

- Straightforward timezone setting ( one button to toggle 4 USA time zones ) -- more on this on Neutral ( below ) also.

- If you care about accuracy of the temperature display, mine was correct within 0.5 oF, compared to my lab instrument -- your clock's accuracy may vary :- ).

Negatives--

- Instruction isn't clear for the 1st initialization. ( a minute or two ), but the instruction does not say that. I presumed I had a faulty unit initially. Better instruction needed.

Neutral

- Ensure that you plan to use this clock in continental USA ( ONLY the 4 timezones, Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific ).

Helpful Hints
- Fold up the instruction pamphlet and tape it close to the battery compartment on the back -- you can be glad you did in about 18+ months.

- I am a big fan of Atomic clocks -- one in nearly every room in my place -- and discovered that most of the external temp sensor version desires battery changes each six month or so, while the non-external temp version, like this one, wishes battery change every 12-24 months ( all using alkaline batteries ). So I use rechargeable for the clocks with external temp sensor ( both the clock and the sensor ) now, and alkaline batteries otherwise.
