2.0 out of 5 stars La Crosse radio wall clock, February 22, 2007

By	New Englander - See all my reviews

Received one as a gift around 12/2005. Worked reasonably well in New England for several months. Would occasionally forget its time and resync. Seemed to eat batteries. After 6 months or so it would not sync reliably. After multiple resets and battery changes, gave up and sent it back for repair but they returned it saying it worked fine for them. I would guess that it might work better if closer to Colorado and the radio signal source, but I've given up on it in New England. Nice looking clock and I was happy with it when it was working.

4.0 out of 5 stars LaCrosse Wall Clock, January 9, 2007

By	J. L. Wright - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Very nice clock. Appears that it won't 'eat' batteries like typical analog clocks. This one moves the minute hand 1/4 of a minute every 15 seconds vs. regular analog clocks. It 'locked' onto the correct time automatically within about 4 minutes. The book said it would set itself overnight and be ready the next morning. A bit more expensive than what I wanted to spend, but probably worth it!

4.0 out of 5 stars just right for the price, June 17, 2006

By	RBM (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews

The automatic time-setting function worked perfectly for me, with the clock hung on a livingroom wall approximately 10' from the nearest window (facing SSE) in a suburb near Philadelphia, PA. No need to mount the clock next to a window; out of the box, I inserted a rechargeable AA battery, pressed 1 of 4 buttons corresponding to the four different time zones, and hung the clock on the wall. The next morning, the clock was showing the correct time.

As for the quality of the clock simply as a clock: it's exactly what I expected for a wall clock of this price. It is constructed of cheap plastic and cheap wood...however, I chose this clock because of its face design and the convenience of the automatic time-setting function. I have no complaints about either aspect of the clock, so it does the job. There was some dust on the inside of the clock's glass face when it first arrived, but the front panel was easily removed, cleaned, and replaced.

The clock stands about 1.5~2" from the wall, and the second hand is not particularly loud (a pet peeve of mine regarding many affordable wall clocks.) The contrast in hues between the 2 different wood grains is fairly muted in typical indoor lighting conditions.
