First, I've bought about 12 smaller Atomic clocks over the years and usually end up giving them to friends.

My biggest question about this clock was does it have a Wave button to force it to look for a signal, and the picture everyone uses to advertise this clock makes it appear to have a backlight. It does have a Wave button (see my pictures of the backside controls), and it is not backlighted (see my picture of the giant and normal clocks with a $10 bill for scale).

I first bought a smaller clock from Amazon model "La Crosse Technology WS-811561-W atomic digital wall clock with solar-powered sensor" but it was missing Wave buttons for the time and temperature, and the solar-powered thermometer didn't take batteries and was poorly documented in the manual -it just felt cheap compared to other clocks I've owned. The deal breaker was when I called La Crosse Technology for help minutes after taking it out of the box -I was left on hold for 30 minutes and then disconnected. I then used Amazon to Return the item and was given a return tag, postage paid.

Next I called Amazon's seller "American Science & Surplus" and got right through to a customer service specialist who answered my questions in less than a minute -and then I ordered the giant clock from Amazon because I felt good spending the extra dollars for the big model, and after a week now, I highly recommend it -it is a first rate product sold by a professional business who answers its phones.

I took the time to post this (my first review) because I really use other reviewers' feedback and no one posted any reviews on this product.

Great digital clock. Just purchased my second one. First one is in the office at work the second will be for our warehouse. The large digital numbers are easily readable from across any large room or warehouse. Very accurate as it updates itself nightly. We have issues at work punching in and out on time as most of our clocks are set at different times. Not anymore. I am even thinking of getting one for my elderly mother to use at home. Easily 5 stars.

I purchased this clock for use in Kingston, Jamaica and I was not disappointed at all. Following the instructions precisely I allowed it to set itself. The batteries were put in one afternoon at about 4 p.m. and sure enough the next morning the display said "Wave OK." That's a sign that it synchronised with the NIST clock. If you want to know whether the clock will pick up the radio signal where you live then you may find the information on NIST website to be very useful. The article gives a very good background information about atomic clocks in general and how they synchronize.

I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to forget about resetting their clock at home or work.

This is the best radio-controlled "atomic clock" I've ever owned. Too bad the temperature display is inaccurate.

The clock found the radio signal within two or three minutes of my inserting the batteries, during the *daytime*, faster than any other I've tried. That includes an old Radio Shack clock that needed to be set outside for at least half a day after time changes, and a La Crosse Technology clock that I just returned to Amazon because I couldn't get it to lock on to the signal after more than a week of moving it around all over the place. I did put this new clock near a window, but no other special treatment was required.

On the other hand, the temperature display is high by at least two degrees. I've compared it to three precision mechanical thermometers, and to our digital thermostats which were recently calibrated by the installers. I never intended to rely on this for temperature readouts, and I don't want to get involved with returning it after just having returned the La Crosse clock, but the numbers are really big so I glued a square of black paper over that part of the display. That looks dumb, but at least I can say I bought this from a "surplus" reseller on Amazon for $40 less than retail.

I just ordered one of these to replace an old one that we had in our office for over 7 years. It had stopped showing the correct date and temperature. I looked all over trying to find something that was this big, but also showed the outside temperature. After about 3 orders/returns, I gave up and purchased another one of these. This is the only digital clock that you can easily see across a large office. The numbers are also very bright.
