SharpAtomic Clock - Never Needs Setting! –Easy to Read Numbers - Indoor/Outdoor Temperature, Wireless Outdoor Sensor - Battery Powered - Easy Set-Up!! (4" Numbers)

This clock was very easy to setup and acquired the correct time even in the middle of the day. My only concern is that it might eat batteries and if so, I'll revise this review. I bought this to replace a long running Marathon clock, which appears to be almost identical to this Sharp clock. I don't mind that this clock can't be read in darkness, since I use my 5" Echo device for time at night.

Excellent atomic clock. The numbers are large and easy to read from the room. It comes with a remote sensor we set out on the patio. So you get the interior temperature as well as the exterior temp.

The media could not be loaded. This is a great clock and the set up was easy. The clock shipped from the USA. The instructions are easy to read and just like the directions said it set itself.

Easy to setup, works great, love the size but should have an option on color, black or white not just black AND THE OUTSIDE SENSOR SHOULD NEVER BE BLACK. I'm a retired meteorologist. The outside sensor should always be white or at least a light color. Black absorbs solar radiation, even indirect solar radiation.

Bought this for my shop. Easy to read from far away and the battery lasts a long time. Good quality product.

Could not get this item to work after instructions said it had to be plugged in overnight to set the clock and other features. After 2 nights of being plugged in, it still does not work. I need to return this product to Amazon.

Easy setup. Works well. Remote sensor has decent range.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:Clock was mostly easy to set up and has very good readability in normal room lighting. But there are issues:- The time zone indicators that appear on the screen are "PST," "MST," "CST," etc, which is Pacific Standard Time, Mountain Standard Time, etc., even when the automatic daylight saving time feature is turned on. There are no readouts that indicate DST, for example, PDT or MDT. As this review is written, DST is in effect, the clock reads the correct time and the DST feature is turned on. Yet, the time zone graphic states "CST," Central Standard Time.- There is no indicator showing that the DST feature is turned on.- The atomic on-screen status indicator either doesn't work properly or the user manual description of the indicator is wrong (or just confusing). The manual states that a flashing indicator means the clock is searching for the time signal, a steady indictor means a signal is received and no indictor means the clock is not searching for a signal. that seems straight-forward enough. But, it's not.When I press the button on the back of the device to cause the clock to begin a search for a radio signal, the radio icon begins to flash. Great, the clock is searching for a radio signal. But after a short while searching the indicator goes out which per the manual means the clock is no longer searching for a signal. Yet, the clock didn't reset to the correct time.So what's going on.? Will the clock automatically search for a signal from time to time? Must I periodically press the search button until the clock syncs? Who knows.The user manual states that the clock may not sync during the day due to radio interference from other sources. If that's the case, says the manual, the clock will sync overnight. That, of course, suggests the clock will periodically search until a signal is found. That's good. But why doesn't the indicator continue to flash so folks know the clock is still searching? Or why doesn't the manual say that the device will continue to search for a signal even though the radio icon is off?I manually set the clock for an hour ahead of the actual time to see if the clock eventually sets itself to the correct time.UPDATE:After 2 days, the clock connected with the NIST and set itself. The radio icon is on continuously and "DST" also appears, although the time zone icon still shows (in this case) "CST." So everything seems to work and all is well.All problems and confusion could have been avoided if:- The time zone indicators included "PDT, "MDT," etc. so that it was obvious that DST was turned on before before the clock connected to NIST and set itself.- The radio/atomic on-screen indicator continued to flash until the clock connected with NIST. If that occurred, it would be obvious the clock was searching for the NIST signal. But because the icon turned off after a few minutes, it appeared the clock was not searching. In the alternative, there would have been no confusion if the user manual stated the clock searches for the NIST signal even when the icon is not present.- The user manual states that the clock may not connect with NIST during the day due to interference from other radio sources but that it should connect overnight. It seems that it may take even longer than overnight to connect. If the user manual stated that it sometimes takes 2 or 3 days to connect, it would have made life easier.
