La Crosse Technology WS-6002U-A Atomic Digital Wall Clock

This is a great wall clock with a modern design. The digital read-out is large enough to see across a room. For a digital display, it does have a pretty good reading angle. (It doesn't have backlight so you can't see it in the dark.) It is very easy to setup. It will setup the clock automatically based on the atomic clock through the radio receiver if you want to wait (the signal is strongest at night), but you may also want to setup the timezone, automatic daylight savings and perhaps customize the read-outs. It takes just a few minutes to get it going. At around $20, this is a great wall clock.

I have just opened a doctor's office with four exam rooms. I want to have a clock in each exam room. I am very sensitive to noises and can't stand some cheap clocks that go tic-tic-tic! The main reason I bought these digital clocks was because of their large numbers. Once I put them up, I realized an unexpected benefit - all these clocks are synchronized! I no longer have to wonder which clock is telling the real time...

Other benefits: They show the temperatures in each room. They show the date & day of the week. The clocks adjust themselves for day light saving time. Maintainance should be a breeze - just change the batteries once a year and they should take care of themselves!

This clock has extra large numbers which can easily be seen from across a room.

I purchased the clock with the intention of using its 24-hour mode. Once it reaches 20:00, however, it cannot display the "2".....Instead, it shows a vertical bar that is about 1-inch tall, which is disappointing. According to the instruction manual: 'Note: The "24 hour time" option is not recommended. The LCD display will not show the first digit "2".'

Nowhere in the Product Description or the Amazon.com Review is this shortcoming mentioned.

Bottom line: If you plan to use the 12-hour mode, this clock is an excellent choice. But if you plan to use its 24-hour mode, my advice is to look elsewhere.
