Keep track of time with the utmost precision with this attractive atomic analog wall clock from La Crosse Technology. The stylish clock receives radio signals at a 60kHz frequency up to 2000 miles away from its source, the United States Atomic Clock in Boulder, Colorado. By radio communication with its built-in antenna, the clock regularly updates the hour, minute, and second of the day for continued accuracy. Additionally, the clock adjusts automatically for daylight savings time in the spring and fall.
An attractive chrome-colored plastic frame encompasses the clock face. Underneath the flat lens, contemporary numerals adorn the face for easy reading. Four buttons allow users to choose the appropriate United States time zone. For those who prefer their clocks to run five minutes fast or to match another clock, the clock offers a manual set option. For the best results, place the clock away from computers, electronic equipment or other articles that receive a signal. The clock may be slow to receive signals upon initial set-up, but should communicate unhindered after one day. This clock requires the separate purchase of one AA battery for a year's worth of power. With a 7-1/4-inch diameter face, the full body of the clock measures 10 inches in diameter with a 1-2/3-inch depth. The clock weighs 1-1/3 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

Accurate but Needs improvement:
I really like this clock. I have it mounted in my garage and it seemed to do well for about 3 months. Then the paper clock face started to separate from the plastic back. I used some Gorilla glue to get it to stay attached to the clock back. However, this caused the paper to become "wavy" and uneven when it dried. Now I have a "wavy" clock face that keeps excellent time. I bought this clock on sale at amazon for $12 about a year ago so I can't really complain. I think that if this clock had been used... more info
Great Clock:
The clock is just the right size and shape for the place we put it. Works great and had no trouble setting it up.
Soso clock:
The atomic adjustment feature did not work on my clock. But it works well enough as a conventional clock that you set manually that I did not send it back. I would not recommend it.
Great office clock:
I own two atomic clocks from La Crosse. This one and the large 18" one. They both work flawlessly and I love love em. I can get a little obsessive about the time, so these clocks work great for me. Its good to know their time is spot on, always. And not having to set them ever is a big boon as well. I don't know why so many people on these reviews seems to be having problems. Mine works great, and was correctly created to handle DST.
