If I had seen this clock in a brick and mortar store I wouldn't have payed more than $10.00 for it. They can't even supply the correct instructions for this clock. As soon as you install the battery (assuming you can find where to install it, they don't tell you where) absolutely nothing happens as are stated in the instructions. The wood case is garbage the pieces don't fit together properly. Save your money, unless they lower the price to $10.00. The only good thing to say is that it was packaged very good.

This clock looks great in our living room and it is very cool that it automatically updates the time. It looks a lot more expensive than it is. My only hesitation is that I'm not sure that the temperature and humidity measurements are accurate. They never seem to change, and seem much lower than the feel of the room. But if you just want a classy looking clock that you never need to set, this is a great deal!

I bought this for my office. It worked great for about 2 years. It had a little trouble finding the signal sometimes, but eventually found it.

A few months ago, the batteries died. When I replaced them, the hands went around and around until the batteries died. I have moved it to several locations, but it cannot keep time anymore. I have several radio-controlled clocks and they are able to find the signal, so I know it's not the location.

I am disappointed as this was my favorite clock.

The set-up of the clock was very simple: insert battery and press button for time zone. The clock then sets itself, but it displays the wrong time until it receives the atomic signal. I set mine in the afternoon and when I looked at it the next morning it had adjusted to the correct time and hasn't deviated since. The temperature and humidity also appear to be correct. I have two other atomic clocks in my house that also display temperature and humidity. All three seem to be in sync. Overall, I am very pleased with the performance, price, and appearance. It looks great on the fireplace mantle.

The clock was exactly what I expected. It was a Christmas present for my wife and she is thrilled with it. Outstanding delivery, as well.

One for my mother, one for my mother-in-law, for Mother's Day 2007. My MIL lives in Los Angeles, and it's working just fine (but didn't switch to Daylight Savings until last week). My mom lives in South Carolina, and just yesterday, it finally switched to Daylight Savings. Unfortunately for my mom, the change-over seems to have made her clock's minute-hand to stop. I've offered to jump through the hoops to return it since it's been less than a year, but she's quite happy with just having a functional hour hand (which she claims is all she needs). The point is, my family is happy with their clocks, and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another one. They're packaged quite nicely for shipping, too!
