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

Disappointing atomic clock:
I purchased this very pretty clock and it worked fine for about a month. After that it stopped running.

Then the person told me how to program the clock after putting the new battery in. I followed the directions exactly and the clock ran fine for about another 2 days. I returned the clock and got my money back. I went to a local store and bought a similar clock but a... more info
Good Clock:
How much can I say about a clock? Keeps time well, and found the time on its own, which is the main reason I got it. No complaints so far. Oh, and it's not expensive!
Great product:
The clock is a great product and it came in record time. I would recommend buying from Amazon.
Lasted only a year:
The second hand stopped working after a year (just after the warranty ran out!). In the first year, the clock worked fine except during the 2 days in the year when the time changed; on those days, the clock changed back/forth by an hour several times i.e. sometimes during the day it was off by an hour... weird! Like the look - hence the 2 stars.
