Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: Never worry about setting your clock for daylight savings time again! This atomic wall clock is widely popular due to its convenience and absolute accuracy. The analog atomic clock is perfect for the home and office; mount it as high up as you want, because the only time you'll need to reach it is to change the battery. The radio controlled clock automatically sets itself and updates for daylight savings. The wall clock has a simple design of black and white, making it a neutral fit for any decor, and large numbers that are easily readable from far away. Requires 1-AA battery (not included). Assembly level/degree of difficulty: No Assembly Required.

Customer Reviews
LaCrosse Technology's Inconsistent Quality
I have purchased eight LaCrosse products in the last four years. Two analog clocks, including this one, have been unsatisfactory.
One model (WT-3143A) worked perfectly for about 6 months, but then began to endlessly whir it's minute hand round and round, never again setting the atomic time. LaCrosse replaced that clock under warranty, and it keeps accurate time, but now, the second hand no longer moves.
This other model (WT-3102B) had a second hand that would not position at the top of the hour. Then the second hand stopped moving entirely. These clocks are supposed to be accurate to the second. But without a moving second hand, Who can tell whether it's running at all?
Frustrated, I salvaged the good battery and threw that clock in the garbage.
I have five other LaCrosse products that are (currently) functioning properly. But my faith in LaCrosse Technology has been battered and deep fried.
I can no longer recommend their products.

D--m thing doesn't work
The clock failed to pick up a time signal in the middle of San Francisco. Once I set it manually, the second hand stopped for good on the second day. Bad clock.

CAUTION - Doesn't adjust PST/PDT on the new schedule.
My La Crosse clock does not reset/adjust itself on the new PST/PDT time schedule. We live on the west coast near Watsonville, Ca. The clock resets on the old schedule and there is no way to adjust or correct it. Customer support will not even consider such a problem and suggest putting in a fresh battery, which I did but of course didn't work.

Correct time anytime.
This clock is easy to view the time in light or darkness, and is always exact.

Caveat Emptor if you don't live on the continent
Perhaps it was my own fault. I thought I had found the perfect clock -- good size face, numbers and hands; simple black and off-white color scheme. Unfortunately, although I checked to make sure it could be set manually, I missed the part that said the time would AUTOMATICALLY reset as soon as it found a signal. Hawaii is not in one of the four official time zones the clock services. One more reason, perhaps, why we should secede from the US. The clock can be reset, but I'd have to pay shipping to and from, which would come very close to or exceed the cost of the clock and original shipping. So now I have a great clock sitting on my desk that I can't set.
