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

Typically, a broken clock is right twice a day, this one is not right even once! I thought it was just on cloudy days that the atomic clock would not function right, but even on sunny days with clear skies, I cannot get the right time. I would not recommend buying this product.
Almost great!:
Works just fine, while it's on your wall, untouched, undisturbed... But when the day light saving switch comes up ... oh, boy what a drag!!! You actually have to wait till 2 a.m. or even later, to find the right spot in your apartment to jump start that thing again. 'Just press the time zone button during night time' as its manual says, doesn't work.
Clock radio is not sensitive:
We live along the pacific central cost about 1000 miles from WWV. We should have no problem getting the signal, but the clock has not worked well. When we got the clock we put a battery in but it never set itself. We contacted the company and were told to use a fresh Alkaline battery, not a rechargeable one. And apparently it needs to be super-fresh---with an exp date at least 6 years in the future. We got a new battery and put it in and the clock did not set itself for 3 days. Today is the... more info
