This clock sets itself to the U.S. atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado, thus maintaining absolute time accuracy. It also adjusts automatically for Daylight Saving Time.
Framed in a matte, pearl-colored plastic, this wall clock measures 14 inches in diameter and looks most at home hanging in an office or business setting. However, this clock's claim to fame is precision time-keeping and the fact that it never needs to be set. The clock has a built-in antenna system that receives signals from the WWVB radio transmitter in Fort Collins, Colorado, which is in turn is 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 seconds, 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. This radio-controlled clock is covered by a 1-year warranty and runs on one AA battery (not included). --Cristina Vaamonde

It Does What A Clock Should Do:
It's a clock that keeps time, just like a clock should. It took a few hours for it to find the correct time, and it's been fine ever since. Be sure to read the instructions so that, when it stops at 4:00 and the second hand isn't moving, even though you have a new battery in it, you'll know why...instead of replacing the battery 3 times like I did.
Beautiful and extremely reliable clock:
The best part about this clock was when I installed the battery and it set the time automatically! PLUS, unlike other clocks I have owned, this one keeps perfect time!
La Crosse WT-3144P:
Perfect. Arrived fast, good packaging, best price, wonderful product.
Large easy to see and read numbers, very quiet operation, and accurate to the second. Plus you never have to set it, ever. What more could one want from a nice wall clock. Amazon delivers again!
Great product, good service.:
Works great, nice quality and design. I had purchased a different brand from a dept. store and it kept resetting itself - not a problem with the LaCrosse.
