Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Never set your clock again! The Atomix 555 office 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 555 automatically adjusts itself to daylight savings time and back to standard time.

This clock has a simple design with large numbers suited for office or school use. 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's always correct., March 6, 2001

Put a battery in, hang it and forget it. You know it's always going to display the correct time. I love the fact that you don't have to have an outlet to use this and can hang it anywhere ... and, as a bonus, no ugly cord. This one is a slam dunk, automatic, no-brainer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love these clocks..., October 31, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Atomix 555 - Acrylic 12.5" Atomic Office Clock (Electronics)

I have two of these clocks (and a wrist watch!) and I love them. The wall clocks use a single AA battery that lasts for two years. As the clock NEVER needs setting, not even twice a year for daylight savings time changes, you only need to take it down from the wall once every two years. Compared to a plug in clock that needs to be reset twice a year for day light savings changes and for power outages, this clock is always on the wall keeping perfect time. I too have a disability so I appreciate these low maintenance time pieces. Once you watch it set itself after inserting the battery, you will be sold as I was. Enjoy always knowing the exact time.

I tried Atomix's 555 Atomic office clock in 6 locations at two sites 43 miles apart and it never did receive a clear signal.
