Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Received one as a gift around 12/2005. Worked reasonably well in New England for several months. Would occasionally forget its time and resync. Seemed to eat batteries. After 6 months or so it would not sync reliably. After multiple resets and battery changes, gave up and sent it back for repair but they returned it saying it worked fine for them. I would guess that it might work better if closer to Colorado and the radio signal source, but I've given up on it in New England. Nice looking clock and I was happy with it when it was working.

Keep precise time with this 12-inch atomic analog wall clock from La Crosse Technology. With its built-in antenna, the clock receives radio signals at a 60 kHz frequency up to 2000 miles away from its source, the WWVB radio transmitter for the United States Atomic Clock in Fort Collins, Colorado. The clock resets itself daily according to these transmissions for continued accuracy. In the spring and fall, the clock also adjusts automatically for daylight savings time.
An attractive natural wood frame encompasses the clock face. Beneath the flat lens, large, easy-to-read numerals adorn the face. Four buttons on the backside of the clock allow users to select from Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific Time Zones. For those outside of these time zones and further than 2000 miles from the WWVB transmitter, the clock provides a manual setting option. Likewise, the DST function can be overruled for residents of Arizona or other regions who don’t practice daylight savings. Allow 12 to 24 hours for the clock to set to the atomic clock. For the best results, place the clock away from computers, radios, and other electronic equipment, and in a region undisturbed by long-wave radio reception. Weather may also occasionally disrupt the atomic clock transmissions. This clock requires the separate purchase of one AA battery for a year’s worth of power. Covered by a limited one-year warranty, the clock measures 12-1/2 inches wide by 2 inches deep by 12-1/2 inches high.
