La Crosse Technology WT-3161BK 16" Metal Atomic Analog Clock Reviews
I like the black background which makes it easy to read. Two times it stopped and had me scared but since then it has worked well. It sets automatically. I have it in my room and boosts about it when ppl come in. This clock is great.
Very easy to read. Reordered through Amazon and returned damaged item. First one I ordered came damaged. The 2nd one came quickly and it was really easy to start and hang on the wall. This clock is being used at an office. No more worries.
I ended up sending it back to Amazon for a replacement (defective). When the replacement arrived, one corner of the shipping box was smashed in and also the corner of the clock box also. I replaced the batteries with a new set and same result. Next morning, however, I found the sweep (seconds) hand had stopped even though the clock was keeping correct time (hours/minutes). Gee, I really did want the clock, but after two attempts, I gave up and sent the replacement back and asked for a refund. Unfortunately, the clock was destroyed.broken glass face and one of the hands was badly bent. I was able to tap it several times to get it going again but alas the sweep hand kept stopping. Received the clock, installed new batteries and within a few hours it had obtained the signal and was working fine.
I could probably deal with the "tink", since I don't really hear it if the TV or radio is on, but frequently this results in it resetting itself to the wrong time. Right. Worse yet, it's not off by a consistent amount and therefore cannot be compensated for.
Sometimes it's an hour off, sometimes less. I highly recommend you look elsewhere for your timing needs. In my effort to have a clock that is always accurate I have managed to spend an outrageous $40 on one that is rarely accurate.
It's beautiful and stylish and atomic, so it's always correct. Right at the moment it is 24 minutes fast. Unfortunately, wrong.
It's not like you can say, "oh, that clock runs 20 minutes fast" and be done with it because it updates daily, with a whole new and unexpected discrepancy in the time. It delivers on the beautiful and stylish portion, but periodically it will emit a high-pitched "tink" sort of noise (that took me two days to locate - fortunately just before I was driven completely insane) that indicates it is contacting the radio tower to maintain the correct time.
The manual is a little vague in setting it manually, Otherwise a good clock, once able to set the time manually. Good design clock even I do not receive any radio signal to sync time.
