Item advertised as indoor/outdoor. Came well packaged. Heavy. Seems solid. Attractive. Nice color scheme around outer edge will go with most decor. Prblm: Not really for outdoor use. I wanted to use it outside on a pool fence, fully exposed to the elements. When clock arrived, sticker on unit said not for use in direct sunlight. Isn't that "outdoor" use? Apparently, per seller (not Amazon), indoor/outdoor really means indoor or outdoor under protection (covered porch, maybe fully exposed but in shade all the time). So I can not use it as I had hoped. Listing in Amazon should be more precise. So use caution when considering purchase and intended use. Note that there is a return policy that I could have used, but frankly I did not feel like going through the effort and time.

Given the expense of this item, I had expected so much more. The timing mechanism appears to be no better than clocks that can be purchased for a fraction of the cost. And, incredibly, it doesn't keep time as well as its cut-rate counterparts. I've had this clock for just over a year and am ready to replace it. Despite fresh batteries, it typically runs more than an hour off and the face is already badly faded.

The clock is beautiful and the thermometer works great. However, we gave it to my parent for Christmas and the clock does not work in the cold weather of Colorado. And that is the main part of the face. Not sure what we'll do as it would be expensive to ship back to return the item. It should not be advertised as an outdoor clock in colder regions.

This is a very nice heavy clock, it looks great and has substance. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice outdoor clock.

I am on my third one in the last year - I dropped and broke the first one (ouch - and the front IS glass, not plexiglass by the way), then bought a replacement which I had to send back for replacement so now I am on my third one. The last one was sent back because the hydrometer read "0" no matter what the humidity was. The replacement works better, but is still GROSSLY inaccurate (both the hydrometer and the thermometer). As others have said, the clock is just a really cheap battery operated clock - mine seems to be accurate enough though.

The manufacturer does supply directions to calibrate the thermometer and the hydrometer - but as best as I can tell they are for another unit entirely as there does not appear to be any adjustable parts on this piece.

Bottom line is the slate surround is really nice, but the rest of the unit is just a plastic kitchen clock (except for the above mentioned glass face).

we bought this clock 1 1/2 yrs ago. it's beautiful, but it doesn't keep time. stops. replace battery. stops again. so what do you do with a beautiful clock that doesn't keep time?

I was really impressed by the quality of this indoor/outdoor clock! Sometimes it's hard to tell online just what you are ordering. This clock is beautiful. The slate mosaic border is really attractive. The product arrived right away and was packaged well as to not get damaged. This was ordered as a gift for someone so I cannot speak as to it's functioning.

This is a nice looking clock--very heavy. But the humidity gauge did not work on ours.. The clock works fine and the temperature gauge works accurately. If you do not care about the humidity then it is a great clock

this is a beautiful outdoor clock. Very heavy, as the slate is real, but no problems with it hanging on my deck wall. Has the humidity and barometer also, and it works great!

the clock is very attactive, but the timing mechanism is really cheap. I stored the clock this winter face up and when i pulled it out to hang it this spring the hour hand does became loose. There is no access to fix it so i had to throw it away. I would not recommend this product.
