English Setter Dog (MS) Wall Clock by WatchBuddy Timepieces (Black Frame) Review

English Setter Dog (MS) Wall Clock by WatchBuddy Timepieces (Black Frame)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I don't know about you, but when I read something that says "fine photographic art" I hope you don't have the expectations that I had. First of all the inside picture is printed off a computer. I could do that so easy at my own home. Yes the picture is nice, but could we use something else to put on then plain paper??? Can we please??? Also, the picture and reading the description made me believe that the frame was wood.... Nope wrong again... PLASTIC... I am sorry, but if I wanted a plastic wall clock with a piece of paper in it. I could do it for 5 bucks myself.
On a good note, this is why I gave a 2.... There customer service was excellent. I accidentally ordered 2 of them. Therefore, I e-mailed them and it was cleared up in a couple minutes. Money was refunded, no problems.
Would I buy this item again??? No... end of story.

Advance Clamshell Travel Alarm Review

Advance Clamshell Travel Alarm
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was disappointed in this clock. The case is cheap plastic and the little mechanism that makes it sit upright doesn't work easily or rapidly, so you have to technique it to make it sit upright.
Additionally, the alarm is so quiet that I can't imagine it waking me, or anybody else.
I liked the second hand; I appreciated that it ran on a battery instead of winding, but the silent alarm and difficulty making it sit upright means this one goes in the GoodWill pile. It costs as much to ship it back as it cost.
A bad puchase, save your money.

Westclox Gen Quartz Travel Alarm (White) Review

Westclox Gen Quartz Travel Alarm (White)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had a travel alarm clock very similar to this one until it finally broke. I searched everywhere to find another one just like it. This small square clock (slightly over 2 inches tall) is unobtrusive. It fits easily into a suitcase. The alarm on/off button is conveniently located on top where it is easy to reach. If the alarm beep is ignored, it increases in loudness and frequency. The back dial lights up only when the corner button/snooze is pressed so there is no glow in the dark to disturb sleep. The second hand is so quiet that you can hear it only next to your ear. Simple and satisfying.

The most compact of Westclox alarm clocks is ready for duty with a pleasant "beep" alarm sound and bright white dial for viewing ease. These essential feaures are complimented by a light and snooze on demand to meet all your alarm clock needs. On your familiar bedside or in a hotel room on the othe side of the world the Journey will wake you up and be more mobile that most travel alarm clocks.

La Crosse Technology WT-3126B 12-Inch Atomic Analog Wall Clock, Aluminum Review

La Crosse Technology WT-3126B 12-Inch Atomic Analog Wall Clock, Aluminum
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Many if not all of Lacrosse atomic analog clocks have received bad reviews on how the clocks do not adjust for DST. Other than the DST issue clock has been very accurate.
Update: La Crosse sent out new clocks to replace the ones that did not adjust for DST because of the new date changes. Any company that does this is tops in my book. Changing rating to five stars.

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. For daylight savings time, the clock also adjusts automatically to the appropriate time.
An attractive aluminum frame encompasses the clock face. Beneath the flat lens, large, easy-to-read black numerals adorn the face, while black clock hands tick off the time by the hour, minute, and second. Four buttons on the backside of the clock allow users to select from Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific Time Zones. For clock use 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, Indiana or other regions who don’t practice daylight savings time. 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. While the clock may operate successfully outdoors in temperatures ranging from 41 to 131 degrees F, it is designed for indoor use and is not water proof. This clock requires the separate purchase of one AA alkaline battery for a year’s worth of power. Covered by a limited one-year warranty, the clock measures 12 inches wide by 2 inches deep by 12 inches high. The clock weighs 3 pounds upon shipping.

La Crosse Technology WT-3102S 10-Inch Atomic Analog Wall Clock, Silver Review

La Crosse Technology WT-3102S 10-Inch Atomic Analog Wall Clock, Silver
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is an attractive 10" clock, white face, silver bezel (also available with black). The unique feature is the ability to synchronize with the atomic clock (WWWVB) in Ft. Collins, CO. Watching the hands speed around the dial as it initially sets itself is worth the price of the clock in itself. We bought one for a play room and liked it so much we bought two more.
After placing the battery, the clock begins searching for the signal. Generally it only takes a couple of minutes to sync, but it came take up to 24 hours. You need to set the time zone in which you live (Pacific, Eastern, etc). The clock automatically adjusts for DST (part of the WWWVB signal, apparently). If you live in areas of the country that don't recognize DST, there is a button on the clock to disable the DST offset.
Note that for the clock to receive the WWWVB signal, it cannot be in a shielded environment. We've had no problems in our home placing the unit in various rooms with an outside window, but I suspect it might not work in a windowless basement (in which case it functions as a regular clock). My company bought a ton of similar clocks, only to find that they cannot receive the signal in a windowless, steel building. Your mileage may vary.

La Crosse Technology WT-3102B 10-Inch Atomic Analog Clock Review

La Crosse Technology WT-3102B 10-Inch Atomic Analog Clock
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I own 8 atomic clocks 5 of which are these LaCrosse brand clocks. Unfortunately, the only problems I've experienced are with the LaCrosse. The others have been problem free. Although I am very close to the Colorado transmitting station (Utah), some of my LaCrosse clocks have had a hard time picking up the atomic signal. I'd wake up in the morning or come home from work in the evening and notice several clocks were WAY off the correct time. (Sigh) I've had to reposition the clocks several times and ended up locating them in areas I really didn't want them. But I finally got all of the LaCrosse clocks to work at least.
Some of the LaCrosse clocks tick loud enough to disrupt sleeping. Others don't which is odd because they are all the SAME model. I've had to rotate clocks around until I found one quiet enough to put in my bedroom. But the quiet one has a signal receiving problem, so I had to put it on a different wall and move the artwork to a different place. It looks rather awkward now. (Sigh)
Of the eight atomic clocks I own, five didn't update at daylight savings time. You guessed it! All five were the LaCrosse clocks. (Sigh) The other three updated instantly. This was one of the main reasons I got the atomic clocks to begin with. I didn't want to hassle with updating the clocks manually. When I contacted LaCrosse support, I was told that it would take up to five days for the new time to register.Why LaCrosse clocks take five days while the other brand atomic clocks updated instantly is a mystery to me.It defeats the whole purpose of having the atomic clocks in the first place. I've inserted a new battery and reset the clock and waited a day or so with no DST update. I finally got tired of it and put them on a different time zone so they would reflect the correct time. Waiting almost a week for the clocks to update is ridiculous!
Overall, I'm rather disappointed. I've actually spent MORE time adjusting and tuning and moving the LaCrosse atomic clocks than I ever did with my old manual ones. LaCrosse brags about its "technology", yet I find it hugely lacking. I am amazed at the good reviews here. In fact, I bought all these clocks based upon them. I also gave several as gifts around Christmas time (I'm so sorry for those of you who got one from me).
I would certainly recommend another brand.
UPDATE 3/17/07: I contacted LaCrosse customer service and was told there was a "flaw" discovered in the engineering of this model which doesn't allow them to update the new DST. They claim they were just as "surprised" about this as their customers. They took my information and promised to arrange an "exchange" of clocks some time in April 2007. I hope they don't expect me to pay for shipping them. I own five of these models. I will update again in April when I get further information. Meantime, I changed the "time zone" to reflect the correct time. Luckily, I'm able to do that.

Combining an attractive design with exceptional convenience, this 10-inch-wide plastic analog wall clock automatically sets the exact time with accuracy down to the second. Along with its radio-controlled time, the unit offers atomic time with a manual-setting option, four U.S. time-zone settings, and an "on/off" function for automatically adjusting for daylight saving time. With its clean, bold design and easy-to-read numbers, the wall clock makes for a nice addition to any home or office decor. And operating the clock is simple, just insert one AA alkaline battery and it's ready to go. The atomic analog clock measures 10 by 10 by 2 inches.
