La Crosse Technology Wall Clock, Plastic, 14-inch Dia. (WT-3143A) (WT-3143A-INT)

This clock is exactly what I was looking for, and it works perfectly! I bought it for my elderly dad's birthday because he always wants to know what time it is, but hates to wear a wristwatch and hates to wear his glasses, so he had some trouble keeping up with the hours in the day. ;-) All of his clocks are electric, and we have power outages fairly often in our area, so that added to his frustration (and mine, because I'm the one who has to reset them all, sometimes more than once in a single day.)So, that brings me to this big, easy to read, battery run, atomic clock! I looked at many different atomic clocks, and read the customer reviews for most of them, and finally decided on this one. It's beyond everything I hoped it would be! It's very nice looking, it set itself within about 12 hours (probably would have happened sooner but I accidentally set DST to OFF instead of ON. Once I realized this and made the correction, the clock reset itself within a few seconds, and we were off and running.)I placed the clock on a wall where he can easily see it from his dining table, as well as from his favorite recliner. The front of the clock faces slightly NE (mostly East), in the general direction of Ft. Collins. He has a gigantic spruce tree in his yard that blocks the view of the street, and an entire mountain range just a couple miles East of his house, but neither seem to be a problem as far as reception goes. We live in Salt Lake City, so there's only the rest of UT and part of CO between us and the clock in Ft. Collins.It seems to keep perfect time (I don't know about the second hand, that doesn't really matter to us) and his home care nurses have even commented on how much they like it.It's totally silent. Even if I put my ear up against it, I can't hear it ticking. (Yes, I have good hearing.)It's very nice looking, clean and sleek, and should go with just about any style of home furnishings.I highly recommend this clock, and if anything changes, I'll come back and update my review.

VERY easy to set up. Pop in a AA battery, push the button on the back for your time zone in the US (Or you can set manually, but then why? Unless you are out of the US time zones.) Find a spot on the wall for it, hammer in a nail, leaving it stick out a little to hold the clock, put the clock up (the hardest part, as it's just a hole flush with the back, BUT! If you put it close to a door, you can see the hole and the nail) and WALLA! in a few minutes, the clock sets itself! What could be more easy? My cat even found it amusing to watch the clock hands move until the reached the exact time! ;)Clock is made of finely textured plastic on outside, but looks a lot nicer than in the picture. Great to match black, silver &/or designer computers, Black leather desk chairs, etc. in an office or computer room. Directions say to set it up late at night preferrably, and that if used in interior rooms of office buildings it may not be able to pick up the signal to set, and thus you'd do it manually.Clock is larger than it looks as well, which is easier on the eyes than other clocks. The price is certainly right as well. I bought an old black school-type clock for my kids when they were young, very similar to this one, and since my son took it with him when he moved out I wanted a replacement! (My mom bought the old one when my youngest was a baby, when my older child was learning to tell time. It's been through being dropped when moving, a few earthquakes and just keeps on ticking! I have the feeling this one will do the same as it's well made compared to many of the less expensive clocks out there - espcially the projection type, which I thought might be a great idea until I saw the reviews on how many different projection clocks simply don't work, are cheaply made, and a friend's daughter got one for her birthday, which didn't work either.)Great for kids learning to tell time too, so this could go just about anywhere in a modern decor room. AWESOME! I'm very happy with it so far!
