Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Never set your clock again! The Atomix 542 wall clock receives and decodes the signal from the U.S. Atomic Clock at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Fort Collins, Colorado. An internal receiver automatically sets the clock and refreshes the signal several times a day, ensuring daily accuracy to within a fraction of a second.
Recent boosts in signal strength have improved clock reception in remote areas. The Atomix 542 automatically adjusts itself to daylight savings time and back to standard time.
This clock comes in a cherry finish, with black numerals on a white face. The time is displayed in hours, minutes, and seconds. It runs on one AA battery, included with purchase, which lasts an average of two years.

Buyers beware! Lack of manufacturer's support,

This review is from: Atomix 541 - 12" Natural Finish Atomic Clock (Electronics)
I have owned the Atomix Clock for over 2 months. The clock would die after a week of use. It seems that the battery gets drained fairly quickly (I have been feeding it a single fresh AA alkaline battery each week). It's possible that this is just an isolated case. What really disturbs me is that my requests for support, through voice and email, have gone unanswered - when calling their 1-800 support number, you are put into a voice mailbox; their online email support promises a 24-hour turnaround. Thus far, I have not heard back from them. This is rather pathetic.

This review is from: Atomix 541 - 12" Natural Finish Atomic Clock (Electronics)
If you are looking for a sharp, well built clock for your office this isn't the one. It works as advertised but I was surprised at the shoddy workmanship and finish on the bezel. The joints have huge gaps in them and the wood has multiple nicks & scratches as well as a very poor finish. Mine is going out in the barn where it will fit in quite well.Final update: I called the company that makes this clock and told them about the battery eating nature of the thing. They gave me an RMA number and shipped me a new clock which has been working fine for the last two weeks and has a much nicer fit and finish.
