- Outdoor temp reader not working.
- I had recieved one as a gift a few years ago. About a year after having it, the outdoor temp reader went bizerk. Most of the time there are only 2 dashes where the temp should show. Sometimes, the number display counts from 0 to 59 continuously. Overall, if the outdoor temp continued to work, I would purchase it again. I love how large the numbers are-very easy to read across the room.

- Love the Clock
- Hey, just got both of these today and I set them and now I have a quiet clock, plus knowing what the temp is outside. I had two of those tick tick clocks which is annoying. Now I have quiet and love them. They were easy to set. Quality is great too.

- Not JUST a clock!
- My friend Gabriel and I argued whether this atomic clock with remote temperature is the "Air Supply of atomic clocks with remote temperature" as he put it or--as I would assert--the "Hall & Oates of atomic clocks with remote temperature." This argument ended, as so often they do with Gabriel, with me pouring Ragu all over his hands.
I can see where the remote temperature feature would lead Ol' Spaghetti Sauce Hands to think of this clock as very "Lost in Love," or even "I'm All Out of Love." But don't tell me that the minute you plug in this beauty from La Crosse, you're not going to look in the mirror and say, "I just invested in the most wonderful atomic clock known to man! And I can rely on the old man's money. I can rely on the old man's money!" Because that is what you will say in the mirror.
My intolerance for Gabriel's assessment is inversely proportional to how well this clock tells atomic time and temperature. And you can take that to the bank, rich girls. - 2008-12-30, 1 of 3 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Good product
- This atomic clock works exactly as advertised. Only took about 10 minutes to get set up. Read the directions before you start putting in batteries and setting the time. You have to do it in a certain order to sync the external temp sensor. The external temp sensor signal has worked flawlessly. The sensor is outside my front door and the clock is in my basement with no problems getting the signal. Recommended!

- Much Better Than Expected
- The dual-temperature setting is great. Other reviews mention problems with the outdoor sensor so I've not used it for such in fear of breaking it. However, I've been having heating problems throughout the house and use that remote sensor to gauge temperatures in different floors of the house and it works like a charm. Excellent use during the cold winter months when I need to know the temperature throughout the house so that I can provide sufficient heating. Oh, and the clock works just fine. This feels cheap and light but the look is high-quality and hey, can't beat the price. Only slight comment I'd have is the logo doesn't need to be so prominent but hey, no complaints here. Haven't test if the atomic clock function syncs correctly (I'm in NYC) but that's not a problem since I can always manually resync when the batteries finally die. The clock is now comfortably in my living room and I can finally tell time and temperature while watching TV on the couch!
