I work in a large public building where we have need for many accurate clocks. Our facility manager bought several of these clocks to try them out and they work great. As promised they even changed their time automatically when we went to daylight savings time this weekend!

Basically, these clocks are attractive, easy to see, and accurate - what more could you ask for!

Don't buy this clock to use in an office building. The "atomic clock" features don't work in mine. It wouldn't set itself correctly when I bought it, so I had to set it manually. Yesterday was the fall time change, and it didn't reset itself. Once it's set manually it keeps good time, but the way it's made makes setting it a bit difficult. The fine print on the directions says it won't work in a mall, and I guess that also applies to my two-story office building. I suspect it proabably also applies to appartment buildings.

2.0 out of 5 stars Funny thing about this clock, June 27, 2008

Clock worked fine for 2 weeks then one day I noticed the second hand wasn't moving. The clock still kept time but the second hand was stuck at 12 seconds. I tapped, replaced batteries, etc.. but no go. I did receive a replacement promptly from Amazon that has been working for a week now. Funny thing is I saw this same clock at a restaurant two days ago and its second hand was frozen. I even mentioned it to the waitress and she said it stopped moving about a month after they hung the clock. Same as mine the clock kept time. I guess in summary if you don't like to return items this might not be a good idea.

Update:
Replacement clock worked for about 3 weeks then the second hand froze at 28 seconds. This time Amazon will not replace but instead told me they have too many problems with this item and would rather refund my money. This thing is not worth your trouble. If I could I'd change my rating to 1 star.
