La Crosse Technology Ultra Atomic Analog Stainless Steel Wall Clock (404-1235UA-SS, Silver, 14 Inch)

Was skeptical about it’s functionality outside USA because of the available setting options. But is working beautifully in Q mode.Listing should specify C battery requirement upfront as it is not a standard, and usually not stocked at home.

Our old atomic clock died after 20 years of excellent service and we replaced it with this. It's not easy to find an atomic clock as there aren't many manufacturers. Like the fact that this one is slightly oversized without dominating the kitchen, and it's easy to read from a distance. Too bad about the jumbo battery requirements, but worth it to never have to give a thought to daylight savings time etc. We're using 'eco mode" feature on the clock so hopefully the batteries will last for years, as adverstised.

Me gusto que puedes configurar para que el segundero no se mueva durante la madrugada y ahorre bateria, me gusta que puedo ver la hora desde diferentes angulos

I absolutely love this clock!I love the brushed metal housing and bezel instead of plastic. It feels substantial and has heft and is not flimsy. The clock is BIG (14" diameter!) and can be seen easily across the room. It also has standard Arabic numerals and not the dreaded Roman numerals. Don't know why people are enamored with X's and I's when one simple character will suffice (and there's numbers at all positions... I hate when they leave some or all blank).But my favorite thing about the clock is the really cool precision clockwork and how the hands line up with the dial face properly. That's always been a weird thing with me. When the second hand is on the 12, the minute hand better be right on top of a minute! And at noon and midnight, ALL THREE hands should be aligned right on the 12! Is it just me???But this clock is dead-on accurate. Since I hung it, I have literally come out and watched the minute hand move exactly 1/4 of the way between minutes every 15 seconds, to be right on top of the proper minute as the second hand reaches the top. You may call it OCD... I call it demanding an accurate clock and this one is.The atomic feature is sweet. As soon as you have the batteries in, it will start to do its thing. Some other review here thought there was something wrong because it sat at the initial preset spot for too long. Having worked with WWV timing signals, I know the clock needs to wait for a very specific time-sync signal that only comes once every so often. If you missed the last one before your clock enters the initial time set, you'll have to be patient and wait for the next one (or your clock is in a bad radio spot and may have missed the signal altogether). Mine set itself fine within an hour, and is literally in sync with my cell phone time.There are switch settings on the back for daylight savings if your area uses that insane archaic nonsense. There's also a neat battery-saving feature that disables the second hand at 11:00 PM, and comes back on at 5 or 6 AM (I forget which). The batteries are 'C' size (which seems odd these days) and you have the option to put either 2 or 4 batteries in. With 4, you won't need to change them for a very long time.Another person asked if it "ticked" or made noise. Granted, I don't have the best hearing, but I can barely hear the second hand ticking when I stand right under it. I sometimes hear the minute hand move its quarter-tic between minutes, but again I have to be right under it. Maybe if you're really OCD about quiet in your bed at night and have great hearing, you might have issues (I mean with the clock tick... your personal 'tic' about 'ticks' notwithstanding... I have my own with clock hands but don't care about the tick!)I like this clock so much I bought another for the kitchen. In a year where I've returned a lot of stuff that just wasn't the quality I felt it should be, I'm really happy with this simple clock that works - and works well - and looks great.

Good value for money, big (but not excessive), and bright, clear to see. The self-adjusting mechanism (atomic clock feature) didn’t work for me but the accuracy of the standard mechanism is really good falling behind only about 5 seconds per month which is very, very good.All in all, I’d recommend it and buy it again if I had to.

Easy set up. Acquires time automatically. Large easy to read face with RED seconds hand. Reasonably priced. Requires 2 to 4 C-type batteries.
