User Reviews

Great concept. Except this thing does not sync time when it's in my office. If I take it outside, it will sync time properly. -- Does not sync time

OK but we never did get the clock to set atomic to work like it was suppose to.. Other than that I like it.... -- clock
This is a great clock. We have owned one for over nine months and rely on it for time and temperature every day. While the phase of the moon is not very important to us, the outdoor temperature, calendar, and atomic-accurate time is great. If you live in a cold weather climate, you will probably need to buy lithium AA batteries for the outside sensor. Our sensor kept failing initially, and like other reviews, we thought maybe we would have to replace the sensor. It was actually the batteries that were failing. Alkaline AA batteries could not handle the extreme Iowa cold. We installed two lithium AA batteries (about $3 each), and the clock (and sensor) have worked like a charm since. -- Great Clock, but be careful what batteries you use if...
This is a great unit. Just as advertised, buy it you will not be disappointed. -- Good stuff
I am very pleased with this clock. Exactly what I was looking for to replace another atomic clock. Looks great and performs great too. -- great clock
