WallarGe Atomic Digital Wall Clock Battery Operated, Self-Setting, Large Display with Temperature, Date, Day of The Week, Silent Wall Mount Digital Clock, 4 Time Zones, DST

Easy to set up. Big & visible numbers. Accurate. Has good information on it.

Great clock easy to see across the room even in Twilight conditions. Only problem I had is I'm in the central time zone and there's always a one hour off. I'd reset it, when it update with the atomic clock feature it would change it back to the wrong time zone. No problem, I simply selected a different time zone it's now always correct.

I've already had this thing for 30 minutes and I'm impressed. Definitely technology at its finest. Once I put the batteries in and started reading the instructions, it probably took 5 to 10 minutes to find a signal. Once it found the signal it was good to go. The display on this clock is large enough to probably see 100 ft.

The clock was difficult to set. It took overnight get an accurate date. We were finally to change the day of the week. Bought the other clock with weather sensor and no problems setting up. I was expecting this Waller to be easy like the other model. I originally was going to send it back, have decided to keep since it is working.The color of the clock is nice as well as the size. The size makes it easy to read and no noise. Once the clock had received the radio signal it became accurate. Only difficult was trying to set the date.

I love the size of this Atomic clock because it is bigger & easier to read than my last one from another company. It was easy to set up and the price was really reasonable. I can read it from across the room because it’s so easy to see. It also shows the indoor temperature which is nice to know if I remember right you can order it in a couple different colors.

Great clock, no problems, no issues, works like it should. Is light as it is, I’m surprised there is two holes in the back to hang it up, but that’s ok, least it comes with a little template, which I wish most stuff would lol Pretty easy to set up. I didn’t even use the instructions. Just look at the back of it, lot easier to set up than my last one.

I'll comment on two aspects of this clock: the atomic function and accuracy. Since it's sold as an 'atomic clock', I'll start with that. Atomicity ------------ I received this clock 12 days ago. I live in a top-floor apartment in a 3-floor building somewhere on the west coast of Los Angeles County, California; only around 880 miles from Fort Collins, Colorado. That's where the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) broadcasts the 60kHz WWVB atomic-clock-based time radio signal. That signal has a 2000 mile radius and covers the entirety of the contiguous United States and reaches significantly large parts of Canada and Mexico. The building where I live doesn’t have a lot concrete or large metal structures; there isn’t a single tall building in the way between the clock and the low hills looming in the horizon; there’s no source of significant interference— powerful electric motors, high power lines… etc— nearby and the weather’s been beautiful those past 12 days. In short, as far as sight, I have clear near-line-of-sight to the source, and there’s nothing to cause poor reception. I’ve even used a compass and map to get the best directional cue after the first few failures. Yet, it seems a tall order for junk manufacturers to make products to receive the signal under these near-ideal conditions! I wonder if they even test their products in the US at all, the US being the only consumer, let alone test a statistically representative sample of locations within each state. First off, when I turned it on it, it did not receive the signal. I tried getting it to manually sync by pushing the WWVB button and waiting for it until it gives up— after 7 whole minutes, several times, including in the balcony, to no avail. It was very frustrating! Over the next three days I tried several spots and it would always fail, both manually and automatically. BTW, this clock and most of its ilk, like the not-as-bad 'Sharp' I purchased about 6 months ago, attempt to auto-sync several times late at night. According to this clock’s manual, it attempts the sync hourly for up to 3 times, starting at midnight. On the 4th day, I noticed that it had 'magically' synced. I noted the ‘sweet spot' where it did and kept it there until the 10th day. Throughout those 10 days, it was a hit-and-miss. However, it auto-synced in the ‘sweet spot' the last 3 days— of 10— in a row. On the 10th day, I noticed that time had jumped 40 minutes forwards, despite the indicated successful sync… just like that! And that's when I decided to return this piece of junk. Just for the sake of completeness, I found the ‘sweet spot' to be a tiny 2x2ft area on, and within a few inches off, a specific wall, and much lower than where one would normally hang a clock. Furthermore, manual syncing in the 'sweet spot' at an arbitrary time of day doesn’t work! So, it’s only auto-syncing that works, during the night, and only in the 'sweet spot!' Accuracy ----------- The magical 40-min jump aside, I noticed that without syncing it would gain nearly a full second daily (~0.9.) That's about 5.5 min ayear. The manual even specifies 'free run' accuracy as ± 60 seconds, per month! Is that acceptable from ANY timepiece in this day and age? I don't think so. It means this clock uses possibly the cheapest oscillator out there. In this regard, the 'Sharp' I already have loses— instead of gains— about 0.7 second per day; it uses a cheap oscillator too, just not as bad! Worse yet, even when it does sync, it doesn't correct the ~0.9 second it had gained the day before! It seems that it's either designed to ignore minor drifts, or the ~0.9 second drift is itself one of the, many, design flaws. Either way, what's the point of ‘atomicity’ when accuracy isn’t a design imperative? Notes ------- · The clock indicates successful syncing by the 3 curved lines (called “wave” in the manual) appearing above the fixed triangle (called “radio tower” therein.) · Gain and loss estimates are best-effort, and based on visual comparison with time display on a computer which syncs 3 times per day with NIST's NTP (Network Time Protocol) time servers. · The 'Sharp' I have has a similar 'spotty' syncing problem; it, too, has a poor WWVB radio receiver. Unfortunately, it worked somewhat acceptably in the place I was before, and my return window has closed many months ago. Apart from the weak receiver and oscillator unbecoming of the brand name, it's rather nice and sturdy, unlike this one. It supports up to 3 outdoor temperature sensors; it comes with only one, though. It's just not worth the $65 I paid Amazon for it, on account of the weak receiver. For reference, here it is: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08S31FRDQ?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder-t1_ypp_rep_k0_1_9&amp=&crid=YK3RQ60CQKOD&amp=&sprefix=sharp+ato · If you think you can live with manually setting clock, think again! This clock— and most of the ones of its ilk that I've checked out on Amazon— seem to have the design flaw of assuming it will successfully sync most of the time. Thus, their designers seem to pay little attention to how it will be set manually. There are only 2 buttons: Up and Down, to set just the hour and minute. The same butons are used to set other date components using the “Time Set” button to switch contexts. If you don't have nimble fingers and lighting-fast reflexes, you'll find it very trying to correctly adjust time to the second. And given how quickly in runs adrift, you'll probably have to go through that several times in a week. If you care for accuracy at all— as you should be if you're considering an atomic clock, you'll probably find it easier to just 'walk it' like a dog for up to half a mile to find a place where manual syncing succeeds! It's ironic really, it's a clock— an 'atomic clock', mind you— yet designed as if it were to be incorporated into a stove or microwave oven as a supplementary function!

A great clock you don't have to worry about setting daylight savings time, leap year - it's all automatic! Large font is easy to read, and the clock is dimple to setup!

Love the big screen and the backlight
