Okay, this clock has some nice features. It has a beautiful display, and it will adjust for DST...BUT there are two things that I DETEST about it. 1). You can NOT accurately set it!! NO NO NO. Sure, the directions tell you how to manually adjust the hour and minutes, but there is no way to reset the seconds. Mine is always 25 seconds off. Nothing you can do about it. Call me a geek (you're not the first) but when I set a clock, I set it against WWV or another atomic clock. I want it accurate. 2). The colon between the hours and minutes NEVER STOPS FLASHING. If the display weren't so big and bright, this might not be so distracting, but it really bothers me. Lucky for me, I have a perfect place for this clock in my house...in the guest bedroom. I can see the time when I walk by, but I never enter this room. Maybe my friends will like it!!

Boy...did I goof!! I thought this was an atomic clock. Turns out all it does is reset itself from regular time to daylight savings etc. Not what I needed. I want one that resets after the power goes out....or if you move it from spot to spot. I really DID think it was self setting.....sorry.

I would have given his NO STARS if that was an option. How in the world can an "atomic" clock be so WRONG! Sorry for yelling..but this is beyond ridiculis. It is actually 14 minutes fast...and as mentioned by someone earlier there is no way to make corrections. What a waste.

Complaint #2 is that.....if someone needs big numbers so as to see them wothout glasses....it might also follow that their hearing is not as sharp as it once was. The alarm??? on this thing is not as loud as mant of the birds outside my window each morning. I am hopeful this review will help someone make a different choice when purchasing from this company.

if you pull the batteries without plug-in 110v, your clock will die....
bad logic....
do not buy....
