Product Description
Amazon.com Review
In addition to showing the time, this clock provides a myriad of weather information useful to hobbyists, gardeners, campers, and fishing enthusiasts. The weather clock's large LCD screen is divided into seven segments. Employing the device's built-in electronic barometric pressure sensor, the top segment displays the 12- to 24-hour weather forecast with an icon (sunny, partly sunny, cloudy, rain/snow). The second segment shows the temperature at the clock's location and also the temperature at the location of a remote wireless sensor that reports to the weather clock via radio waves. (Users can place the remote sensor outdoors or indoors up to 90 feet away--in a garden, greenhouse, wine cellar, or baby's room.) Also available are minimum/maximum temperatures at the two locations over a select period, and those temperatures' trends (rising, falling, or steady).
The third segment shows the humidity and the humidity's comfort level at the clock's location. Using a bar graph, the fourth segment tracks local barometric pressure over 24 hours. The fifth segment shows the current barometric pressure. The sixth segment graphically illustrates the moon's phases with eight icons, flashes the icon for the current phase, displays the tidal phase, and, on demand, calls up 100-year moon-phase information for any date from 1990 to 2089. The bottom segment shows the time by hour/minute/second and hour/minute/day/ date, and also tells you whether the clock's alarm has been set. Users can set up both the 8-by-7-3/4-inch clock (3/4 inch thick) and the 4-1/8-by-2-3/4-inch sensor on flat surfaces on wall mounts, and you can set them to show the temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit. The clock operates on four AA batteries, and the sensor requires two AA batteries. (All batteries included.) --Fred Brack

Very Good Weather Station,

This review is from: Oregon Scientific BA928 Cable-Free Moonphase Weather Clock (Kitchen)
This product is very good - but not great. Surprisingly, the temperature readings are off by about 2 degrees. I would have expected that this would be "right on the money." The wireless communication with the remote temperature sensor works very well. Oregon Scientific can't decide whether to calibrate your altitude in meters or feet - the directions say one thing, their web site the opposite! Overall, however, it does a consistent job which is what really counts with weather. A lot of fun!

Works Great and Lots of Fun !,

This review is from: Oregon Scientific BA928 Cable-Free Moonphase Weather Clock (Kitchen)
Functionally, I've had no problems with this product. As far as I can tell, it's within a degree or two of absolute acurate on temp and within one or two hundreths of an inch on pressure. (I'll never know for sure due to the fact that the readings at the airport or local news station are probably different than at my home). My only suggestion at improvement would be to give the choice to set one's local elevation in feet rather than meters.

Indespensible but problematic,
This review is from: Oregon Scientific BA928 Cable-Free Moonphase Weather Clock (Kitchen)
I love having the information. You have to be careful to set the altitude adjustment precisely; then the readings match the weather bureau with incredible accuracy.However, the radio transmission of the temperature can be unreliable, especially in rain. I almost always lose the outside temperature reading during any kind of even modest shower, and my remote sensor is no more than 35 feet from the unit. The instructions for setting the unit were written by someone with cognitive problems. Good luck....try to anticipate the illogical, and you will eventually figure it out.
