I purchased this clock and have had some problems with it. The first one I received I pushed the button in to set the time and the button became stuck. I was never able to try it, so after sending it back and receiving another clock I did not have any trouble with the buttons. But soon learned the display does not have a light. So it is a great clock during daylight hours but at night the display is dark. So if you want to see what time it is during the night hours, keep a flash light by it! I will be returning it again for that reason. I was disappointed. Other than those reason the clock was clear and was useful with all of it's information on the display.

We get no radio control signal with this clock anywhere in our home. Get the Equity 86709 SkyScan Atomic Wall Clock instead. We have several of them, and all receive the signal just fine.

This is a beautiful, high-tech looking clock with all of the information I want. The jumbo display in nice so I can read it from accross my office. The only problem I had was the clock wouldn't receive the radio controlled time. I tried at the office and at home, both inside and outside, but nothing. I live in suburban Detroit, and I have no problems with radio reception whether AM or FM. This clock was close to want I wanted, but without the atomic time feature, I'm returning it and continuing to search.

The display is very clear with large characters, and the content is very useful (especially the temperature display).

Note that I was only able to get a synchronization radio signal if I put the clock near a window -- I couldn't receive the signal in the location I wanted to put the clock. So I first put the clock near a window for a few minutes to set it, and then moved it to the other location (not near a window, where it could not receive the signal). Interestingly enough, after a couple days at the new location, the clock somehow acquired the signal (you can tell, via the OK indication on the clock). So now everything is working great. I love it!
