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

Attractive & easy to set up:
This is my fifth atomic clock from LaCrosse and I am pleased with all of them. Have them in every room so that I don't have to spring ahead and fall back with daylight savings time adjustments. They are plain & easy to read and come in many sizes & colors to fit the space you have and your decor. This particular clock is a pearl color that fits into a beige decor. It is very large, 14" diameter.
It works, but.....:
I ordered 25 of these clocks for my school. Three were damaged in shipping (faces smashed), one had an arm broken off and one is defective. The ones that work (80% of those received) work great and we love them. Returning the broken ones was easy and Amazon was great and replaced them immediately. Now all of our school clocks have exactly the same time - no more tardy excuses!
Deserves ZERO stars:
Here's what you get - a clock that doesn't sync to the new day light savings time beginning in 2008; non-existent customer service; and my warranty card was sent back to me stamped "return to sender - address does not exist." and to boot...you won't get your money back. I have purchased about 500 items on Amazon and have been completely satisfied with every purchase - except this one. This clock and this company Suck.
Disappointing atomic clock:
I purchased this very pretty clock and it worked fine for about a month. After that it stopped running. I called tech support and was told the battery I was using, (expiration date 2012) was too old and I should get batteries that say 2015. 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
