River City Clocks 801-393O Atomic Tambour Styled Mantle Clock Reviews
Nice looking anywhere and would make a nice gift. Another thing that makes it nice, is , that you know it has the correct time, so you can set all your other clocks by it. This is a nice clock. Sets itself and keeps good time.
The solid oak case is heavy and well finished. I purchased this clock when we redecorated our great room. I called the company and they were glad to help me set it manually. I could not get my clock to set itself automatically, guess I'm too far away from Colorado. Very accurate.
One word of warning: this clock will only work in the US Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones and has a button to disable daylight saving time. I had to press the time zone button on the back to get it to advance to central time and it has been working just fine since then. This is not spelled-out very well in the item's description online. As far as the clock itself: I put the battery in and, per the instructions, the hands advanced to 8:00 then stopped. I placed it on the shelf and about 1/2 hour later I looked and it had synchronized with the atomic clock's radio signal and was keeping time already (the last atomic clock I bought - different brand - took overnight to synchronize).
The workmanship is flawless. First of all, the small pictures available online do not do this clock any justice. It is also surprisingly lightweight for its size, but that is probably because the entire center has been carved-out for the clock and the whole thing is not very thick. Everyone that sees it has nice comments about it. It has a very contemporary look and feel to it with a traditional, retro-style.
I expected it to be pretty nice becuase of other reviewer's comments, but I had no idea just how good-looking this clock was until I had it in my hands.
Well worth the money. Clock is heavy duty and very nice to look at, and it works great.
Not very convenient. I live in CA, so I can't force the time to correct by adjusting the time zone. I looked up the manual via a link here on Amazon. When daylight savings time in November, 2007 came, the clock did not adjust. Does anyone know how to change the time. The DST is an unmarked, small button. EDIT on 11/13/07: I was able to adjust the time by turning off the daylight savings time mode. If you can keep the DST settings in synch, this is a great product.
