Whether mounted indoors or outdoors, this 18-inch round analog wall clock reports the time, temperature, and humidity at a glance. This clock's claim to fame is its precision time-keeping and the fact that it never needs to be set. A built-in antenna system receives signals from the WWVB radio transmitter in Fort Collins, Colorado, which is in turn 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 secods, 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. As an additional perk, the clock features in the lower left area of the face a hygrometer that measures the percentage of relative humidity in the air. The lower right has an analog thermometer that reports the temperature in both Celsius and Fahrenheit. This radio-controlled clock is covered by a 1-year warranty and runs on one AA battery (not included). --Cristina Vaamonde

2 years - great so far:
We bought this clock from Amazon just over 2 years ago and it's been operating great. 4 stars and not 5 because there were 3 times we had to move the clock to the window because it was off by an hour; 2 of those times were during DST changes.
We have only used it indoors.
It looks great, very easy to read at a distance, works reasonably reliably, and we can highly recommend it.
CAUTION - Doesn't adjust PST/PDT on the new schedule.:
My La Crosse clock does not reset/adjust itself on the new PST/PDT time schedule. We live on the west coast near Watsonville, Ca. The clock resets on the old schedule and there is no way to adjust or correct it. Customer support will not even consider such a problem and suggest putting in a fresh battery, which I did but of course didn't work.
Great clock:
I received this clock as a gift and have now purchased it for a gift for a family member. This clock works wonderful. It's big enough to see from our pool which is probably 20 feet away. It's a high quality clock and looks great outdoors. I would recommend this clock.
Love it!:
Ordered and received an outdoor atomic clock which was just as described. It arrived in great condition and in good time (Hee,hee,hee--Get it?). Love it!
