This clock sets itself to the U.S. atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado, thus maintaining absolute time accuracy. It also adjusts automatically for Daylight Saving Time.
Framed in a matte, pearl-colored plastic, this wall clock measures 14 inches in diameter and looks most at home hanging in an office or business setting. However, this clock's claim to fame is precision time-keeping and the fact that it never needs to be set. The clock has a built-in antenna system that receives signals from the WWVB radio transmitter in Fort Collins, Colorado, which is in turn is regulated by the atomic clock. Once you install the battery and choose one of four U.S. time zones, the clock automatically sets to the accurate time in hours, minutes, and seconds, and continues to adjust itself six times daily. This low-maintenance clock even automatically adjusts for daylight savings time, so you never need to remember to spring ahead or fall back. This radio-controlled clock is covered by a 1-year warranty and runs on one AA battery (not included). --Cristina Vaamonde

great wall clock!:
I purchased this wall clock from another well know retailer and i am glad i have, it has lasted me well over a year now and it works great! Not only does it work great, it runs on only one AA battery that you replace only once a year, and it's silent so it's great for a bedroom.
Great generic wall clock:
I was looking for a generic (not themed or fancy) wall clock to place in an exercise room. This one is nice looking, clear and easy to read. The atomic feature set itself to our time zone withing 12 hours (just leave it alone, it will happen )It's also quiet, for people that don't like ticking sounds. A great avalue for the money.
WT-3144P - Above Average ...:
I have this clock since 2006, it's still running fine & accurately. It's clear and easy to see from a distance. It doesn't make the ticking sound so that's a plus for me. DST works for the most part. It would take 1/2 day or longer on the day the time changes to readjust itself correctly. Other than that, it's a good clock. I change the AA Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable battery once a year, that's the only time I would touch the clock.
La Crosse Atomic Wall Clock:
Great wall clock. Easy to use and nicely designed. Automatically adjusts to day light savings time. Highly recommended. For this price, I cannot think of a reason why anyone would buy a regular (non-atomic) wall clock.
