This is a very well made clock. It is easy to see from far away, shows correct time within minutes of setup, no more climbing up to set the Daylight Savings Time or remembering how many minutes the clock is off. A quick test showed that clock's time about 2 seconds different from my Verizon cell phone.
Good product. |
Convenient and attractive ...

I've owned this clock for almost a year, and consider it one of the better buys I've made in clocks. So far, it has "self-adjusted" for every daylight savings time change with no problems. The key, I think, is to make sure that it is set to adjust automatically, and that the time zone is set correctly. There's an unmarked button that, if depressed, will deactivate DST automatic adjustment (this is all explained in the short owner's manual).
The clock is very classy looking, and, contrary to other reviewers' comments, the frame is real wood, NOT plastic. I know because I "nicked" the back of it accidentally on a nail when I was hanging it. It has a walnut stain and smooth satin finish. The design will go with a lot of different decorating styles. Mine is sort of traditional/eclectic, and the woodtone of this clock works well. The dial has a mildly "old-fashioned" look to it -- very easy to read.
I've been thrilled with this clock, and would gladly purchase another. Amazon's price is excellent, too. |

I needed a wall clock for my bedroom, and this one matched my decor, so I thought, "why not".
I had read reviews on here that the clock had trouble with adjusting to daylight savings time, and since that was just a couple of weeks ago I was worried that it might not work correctly. I put the battery in and about 10 minutes later I heard a strange sound as the clock started setting itself. I thought "how cool!" although admittedly it did look like a clock possessed by a ghost. It set itself to 4:00, only it was actually 6:30pm.
Now I felt worried. It's not like it was off by some time zone, it was off by 2.5 hours. I read through the little manual. It says, "keep it away from TVs and computers". Ok, it's in the bedroom, so no problem. Then it says: "works best near a window facing Colorado". I laughed out loud when I read that! I mean seriously, who is going to get out a compass and choose the placement of their clock based on a Colorado-facing window?? I then started to worry because I don't get very good cell phone reception in my house and the clock was a good 15 feet from the nearest window. I decided to just leave it alone and see if it had set itself by morning. Then, come 10:30pm I heard the strange noise again and the clock set itself to the correct time. It is strange that it originally set itself to 4, and then exactly 4 hours later it set itself correctly. It seems very methodical, but nothing was mentioned (that I saw) in the manual about this.
So, that said, I have full confidence in this clock working correctly. Not only that but it's beautifully made and very easy to read. I highly recommend it! |
good clock, good price

| I checked around for decent looking atomic clocks, and this is a good price. I've had trouble with another brand of atomic clock (Daniel Dakota) resetting itself to the wrong hour repeatedly. I got this one, and it did the same thing. The difference is this La Crosse clock has an 800 number to call, which I did, and a very pleasant lady told me what to do (don't set the time zone until the clock sets itself by picking up a signal--not in the instructions of either clock). I did that and this clock and the other one I'd had trouble with both have worked perfectly ever since. This is a good clock at a good price. Pretty, too, with very easy to see numbers. |
