I was skeptical about buying this clock since there was no review available. After two weeks of searching what's available on line, I decided to take a chance by ordering this clock. When it arrived in the mail, I was very happy with the looks of the clock. It has a very clean look and the numbers are easy to read. The second hand on the has a faint ticking noise but from a distance it's hardly audible. The wood frame, however, doesn't not look as red as it appears on line but overall, I'm very satisified with the appearance and features. The clock adjusts itself to daylight savings time and it was realitively easy to set up.

I've had this clock for 12 years. Never misses a beat! Beautiful, accurate, care free. You can't beat it for the money.

The clock was nice enough, wouldn't work in the Alaska time zone so i'm not sure why it was sent here, had to retu
rn it.

I was replacing a fabulous Herman Miller clock I had purchased 10 years ago. This one was cheap and tacky, with no saving grace. I couldn't send it back fast enough!!

The initial impression of this clock, out of the box, is of a high build quality and elegant wood/metal/glass finish. Takes 1 AA battery. The clock synchronized with the time server in just a few minutes, very good performance. Time zone is selected by a row of buttons ob the back. The face is clear and readable from a distance. Very nice clock.

This atomic clock is a lovely design, simple and attractive, and it performs well. In the beginning, it seemed fussy and inaccurate, even settling into the eastern time zone, although I had clearly indicated Pacific time as my preference. In fact, it was close to a week before it meshed with Fort Collins time. But once it did, it revealed itself as reliable and--pardon the pun!--on time. One small gripe: In the advertising, there is no indication of possible pitfalls (e.g., it shouldn't be located too close to a computer or other electronic devices, it should be close to a window, it should face Fort Collins, Colorado). It would therefore be helpful to know, ahead of ordering, what the parameters are for mounting this clock, so that it will function optimally in its new home. That said, I am enjoying this beautiful (and now accurate) atomic clock.

Just received the Howard Miller Murrow atomic wall clock last week for my home office. Very nice looking with easy-to-read large numerals, and so far, time keeping has been very accurate. Clock is also vert quiet - don't hear any ticking. Daylight saving time starts next week, so I expect the time to adjust ahead automatically, which was the primary reason I purchased an atomic clock. I now have atomic clocks throughout my home and no longer have to go through the house changing all the clocks twice a year.

I had this clock for about 4-5 years. Twice a year it would go crazy when the time changed. This always happened in the evening of the time change - the clock would all of a sudden move ahead or back to settle in a totally different time. I tried to fix it the first time but learned to leave it alone since the next day it would return to the correct time by itself. After I had it for 2 years, my cleaning woman dropped it while cleaning it. Since then I had to set it to central time even though I live on the east coast for it to work properly. It worked fine for another 2-3 more years then one day it stopped working. Well, I expect a clock that costs close to $100 to last more than several years. No more atomic clocks for me.
