Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Framed in a matte, pearl-colored plastic, this wall clock measures 14 inches in diameter and looks most at home hanging in an office or business setting. However, this clock’s claim to fame is precision time-keeping and the fact that it never needs to be set. The clock has a built-in antenna system that receives signals from the WWVB radio transmitter in Fort Collins, Colorado, which is in turn is regulated by the atomic clock. Once you install the battery and choose one of four U.S. time zones, the clock automatically sets to the accurate time in hours, minutes, and seconds, and continues to adjust itself six times daily. This low-maintenance clock even automatically adjusts for daylight savings time, so you never need to remember to spring ahead or fall back. This radio-controlled clock is covered by a 1-year warranty and runs on one AA battery (not included). --Cristina Vaamonde

I've bought two of these atomic clocks. The first, a 12" wood framed model, soon stopped keeping accurate time and started acting unpredictably. The second, this model, has been on my wall for a week and is keeping good time after an easy setup: insert battery, push EST button.
I am nicking it a star because it makes a noticeable tick sound in a quiet room, making it inappropriate for a bedroom.
[Update: The clock has functioned well for nearly 3 years with a battery change per year.]

I purchased this as a present. Less than a month later, I went to wrap it, and found that most of the face of the clock had come unglued from its backing. There seems to be a quality control problem at the LaCrosse factory. I contacted the LaCrosse customer service satff about the problem and they wanted me to pay for shipping for warranty repair even though it was new. Fortunately I bought it through Amazon and they were responsive enough to pay for its return. Don't think I'll ask for a replacement.

The face is made of paper and is poorly glued on causing ripples and warping.
Although under normal cirumstances it receives a signal and adjusts to the signal properly, IT DOES NOT ADJUST FOR DST, thus making the clock virtually useless now. If you live in other time zones other then EST, you could at least choose a different time zone to compensate; if you live in the EST time zone you are SOL. Other than the DST issue clock has been very accurate.
Update: La Crosse sent out new clocks to replace the ones that did not adjust for DST because of the new date changes. Any company that does this is tops in my book. Changing rating to four stars.

A very good product. Everyone should have an atomic clock somewhere in their house to keep acurate time so you can set all of your clocks,especially when time changes occur.
