Pros and Cons
This is definitely a novelty item, but overall it's a good one with some inscrutable flaws.

Pros:
* Atomic clock, once you get it working.
* Outdoor temp/rel. humidity, and indoor temp/rel. humidity (I didn't realize how dry my bedroom is).
* Projected time/temp works very well, very legible without my glasses on a ceiling that is well higher than the recommended range. Very pleased with this.
* Two alarms, configurable snoozes etc.
* Battery backup.
* Most of the features you'd expect out of a $25 alarm clock, basically.

Cons:
* Frustrating interface for setup/changes (to set the sensitivity of the forecast feature, for example, you have to scroll through all of the other features, many of which only give you a number to choose, with no indication of what feature it applies to; you have to refer to the poorly written manual--which tells you to set it to 1, 2, or 3, with little explanation of what that does.)
* Flimsy construction.
* "Forecast" is based on real time data of the remote sensor, which is good, but kind of misleading. It can be raining cats and dogs, and the forecast will indicate it's cloudy. You'd think a real time device would be able to tell what I'm seeing outside my window. (I know, it's all technicalities, but I'm addressing the basic real user expectations.)
* Atomic clock ONLY works once you set the time manually to something close to the actual time. Why? Because (I'm making a best guess here) the device only polls the atomic clock frequency between midnight and 6am, when conditions are better for it (according to the manual). I made the mistake of just leaving it at 12:00 to start when it was actually 7pm or so. So when it tried to poll the atomic clock service, it was not within that midnight-6am window. Once I set it close to the real time, the "connected to the atomic clock service" icon showed the next morning.
* The manual. Uses acronyms like WWVB without ever defining them. Has no table of contents, so figuring out something as simple as setting the alarm requires a lot of page flipping.
* No "backlight for the LCD always on" option I've been able to find, and when the backlight is on briefly after hitting display, it buzzes.

Batteries last about 1 week!
I am very disapointed in this product. The batteries last a very short time so most of the time I do not get any readings on the inside monitor. Alot of money for something that doesn't work!

Can read without my glasses
The biggest reason I like this Weather Station is that I can read the time and outdoor temp. without my glasses. So when I wake up in the middle of the night I just look at the ceiling. With other digital clocks I must put my glasses on. Because the time is transmitted to my clock and it has a batter backup I am never without the correct time and never have to worry about missing my morning alarm due to a power outage.

Ready, set, go ...
The Weather Channel WS-9031TWC Projection Weather Station
Easy to set up, easy to read, easy to use...just what we were looking for.

Everything in one..
This package INCLUDES the 5 AA batteries AND the TX4U Wireless Temperature and Humidity Sensor.

Not only does this device monitor the tempratures, show the time on the ceiling (hours and minutes), and have dual alarms (with configurable snooze minutes), but it also shows the seconds. Running off of the Atomic Clock, it's time matches eBay's, to the second! (BID Snipper delight) !!!
It is even "Better than sliced bread".
