Awesome Atomic Clock

Compared to other atomic clocks, this one is much easier to set up in terms of time and outdoor temperature sensor. Without multiple channels for the sensor, changing the batteries and receiving an accurate temperature is quick and stress free. I liked it so much, I bought a smaller, desktop version for the office and just like the larger one, it's easy to setup and its temperature sensor doesn't interfere with the other.

Very cool. Works well

Very cool. Works well, doesn't seem to hog batteries. Not too unattractive. I have dyscalculia, which among other things means no matter how hard I try I can't read analog clocks. Finding a digital wall clock that isn't hideous has been a lifelong quest. This at least just looks scienc-ey, which is an aesthetic I can live with. It did take over an hour for it to sync for the first time, but I wasn't in a hurry so I just let it sit overnight. I actually have the remote sensor in an unheated room of the house that I do use, so I can tell at a glance if I should go and turn the space heater on before I go work in there. Because let's be real, if I want to know the temperature I'm going to look at my smartphone that I look at constantly anyway. But this is perfect for this application, because I have the clock in the heated part of my workspace so I can just look over at it when I'm thinking of switching projects.

Love it!

I've been using La Crosse Technology products for well over 10 years and I highly recommend them. Nothing is perfect but I have always found their customer service exceptional. I've tried other brands of atomic clocks and they cannot hold a candle to La Crosse. This is my third clock (the others are still working) and it is just as described. If you prefer, they do have basically the same thing with indoor humidity instead of phases of the moon.

Works great in my kitchen

I purchased this model La Crosse Technology Ws-8117U-It Atomic Wall Clock With Indoor And Outdoor Temperature And Moon Phase in silver, for my kitchen, back in January 2011. At the same time I purchased La Crosse Technology WS-9160U-IT Digital Thermometer with Indoor/Outdoor Temperature (recommended for the bedroom or living room) which is able to pick up the signal from the remote transmitter that came with this clock. Today I'm purchasing a replacement sensor La Crosse Technology TX37U-IT 915MHz Wireless Temperature Sensor plus one additional to use on the opposite side of my apartment (for the 9150U, which can receive from three sensors). Funny story about the replacement sensor--turns out you have to actually mount these things with screws... I had mine sitting on the window ledge where I "tested" it for about 2 months. You know where this is going, right? Well, the wind didn't seem to bother it, but one day a pigeon knocked it off. I live on the 8th floor of an apartment building. I did find it the next day, but it was smashed... so needless to say--I will properly mount the replacement :) Concerning the atomic feature and moon phases, I am not using either of these as I don't currently live in the US. I actually wanted the model WS-8157 that looks exactly like this, but with the barometric pressure/weather forecaster instead of the moon phases, but I couldn't find that (older?) model in silver, so picked this up instead. I'm fine with setting this manually, and it looks great in my kitchen with my aluminum and stainless appliances. As some have mentioned, it seems to go through batteries pretty quickly -- I got 4 months out of my Duracell's before the LED display started to dim and I replaced them. I tested the batteries before tossing, and one was completely dead--the other still had a little juice left. I gotta wonder if La Crosse couldn't have engineered this to use 3 or 4 AA's so that it would last longer (at least 6 months so I can proactively change the batteries when time changes in the states). One last thought: I would have preferred if this was manufactured in the US. I thought about taking one star off for this reason--would that be fair?

LaCrosse Atomic Wall Clock

I bought my father-in-law a La Crosse Atomic clock about 13/14 years ago, which he loved. When cleaning out his home after his death, my husband and I decided to take the clock back to our house as a constant reminder of him. Like my father-in-law, I grew to adore all the functions this clock displayed. This past week the clock's face appeared blank. I never realized how attached to its precision and functions I had become. Did my research and as usual ended up purchasing two different La Crosse models directly from Amazon. The nicer looking one graces the original clock's position while the simpler one went to the second floor of our house. Shortly after all the batteries were inserted both clocks set themselves perfectly. Could life be any easier? Looking at the fancier clock still makes me think of the kind and wise father-in-law I was blessed to have known....just wearing a new "shirt".

Extremely Visible LCD Display

This LCD Display for this clock is well visible, even from the sides. I previously purchased another manufacturer's LCD clock, and the display was very faint. Not so with this one, as it's well visible from the sides. This clock also has time zones from Eastern to Hawaii, including Alaska. I have no experience with the radio synchronization for the clock, but would expect it to function similar to the other one I purchased several years ago. Since this one does have the Alaska timezone, I expect no problems unlike the LCD clock from another manufacturer only having the three timezones! The indoor temperature sensor: 14.1F to 100F every 20 sec The outdoor temperature sensor: -38.8F to 139.8F every 4 sec, max 330ft with no obstructions Batteries: 2xAA Battery Life: About 24 mos.

Best Clock Ever!

This is my second clock. The first one lasted 15 years before giving out. I immediately replaced it with the newest version and am completely satisfied. Over the years I have purchased at least six atomic clocks as gifts for friend, relatives. All are working and everyone is pleased. If you want accuracy, this should be your choice in a clock!

By This, Avoid the Oregon Scientific if you want reliability

This is a replacement for one I knocked off the table. The broken one looked like it was still working, but wouldn't respond to any button pushes, et cetera, even after I removed and replaced the batteries. The reason I deducted one star is that to prevent a similar mishap in the future, I hung it on the wall instead of using the leg and putting it back on the table. When it was on the table, it leaned back a little and was very readable from almost anywhere in the room. Hanging on the wall, it is illegible while I am sitting in my recliner, where I have most need of seeing it. I'm going to fool around with the mounting ans see if I can introduce a little "tilt" while leaving it on the wall. Perhaps the maker could include some sort of bracket to accomplish this in the next generation. Or if they really wanted to complicate it, make it voice command sensitive with back-lighting. Other than this one quibble, I was very satisfied with the initial unit and expect to be equally satisfied with the replacement unit. Since I wrote the above I have purchased another La Crosse to replace the Oregon Scientific that can't get a signal ten feet through a wall. No problem for the La Crosse unit. So I have now bought three of these, counting the one I destroyed by knocking it onto the floor--and it did take quite a hit.

Always accurate

I have used a La Crosse atomic clock for years. They keep absolutely accurate time and temperature. My only drawback on this particular model is the moon changes rather than temperature changes. I didn't realize the difference when I purchased. I could have purchased one with the temperature changes instead.

Great purchase

My Mom had one of these for years. She had some dementia and could not keep up with the days of the week or the years. She used this clock all the time. I liked it so much I purchased one for myself. I have had mine for years also. The time is always correct. The outside air temp sensor has a very good range. The digital numbers are large so you can see them from a distance. I purchased the last two, one for my brother-in-law and one for a close friend that’s is eighty nine years old. They both love them. My mother passed last September so I now have two, one of mine is in the bathroom so I know what time it is and what the temperature is outside. The other is in the living room where I can see it all the time. The living room may be rearranged but the clock is where I can always see it. Battery life is great. Love it, love it love it. This is an excellent purchase.
