Nice Clock
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
I didn't read the instructions(!)and had tried to use a 1.2V Ni-MH rechargeable battery. When I replaced 1.2V Ni-MH rechargeable with 1.5V ALKALINE battery the clock immediately set itself to the correct time; hour, minute and second -- using a daytime signal from the VLF 60 kHz WWVB broadcast Fort Collins 54 kW transmitters and their top loaded 122m high monopole antennas w/ "helix house" tuners.
And yes, the instructions clearly say use an ALKALINE 1.5V battery. So note to Phil: I would appreciate it if you would remove my earlier review. This is a nice clock for the shack!

10" Accurate to the Second?
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
Yes, automatically sets itself to the second, but the hour hand is six hours off.
It is like the Chinese clock maker put the hand on 180^ from the correct position.
Easy for me to do the math, since it is a 12 hour format, right now it is 12:16, check that... 06:16.
Maybe will try one from Walmart.

Nice functional clock
|
Time owned: more than 12 months

Real clocks have hands. I had some old clock I got at goodwill and it worked OK but I lack the willpower to reset it for each change in Daylight Savings Time. So, I had a ham friend over and we talked for hours and then he looked at the clock and said, "IS THAT RIGHT?????" because he thought it was an hour later than it really was. I told him it's actually an hour earlier, and he was relieved. But then I was embarassed, so the next day I got this clock at fry's, the inimitable LaCrosse Atomic Clock With Hands. For 20 bucks. It's great, the only thing is, this last changeover it didn't change an hour for the daylight savings time. I finally gave up and put it on Colorado time. I'll change it back to California time the next change.
Nice and big and easy to see, I can even read the sucker with my bad eye. W00t!
