La Crosse Technology WS-8418U-IT Atomic Digital Wall Clock with Moon Phase

I have another automatic time adjusting atomic digital wall clock with a large display that I purchased a few years ago at Radio Shack that is similar but only has the indoor temperature. I liked the remote outdoor temperature sensor feature and the moon phase displays so I decided to purchase this La Crosse brand as an upgrade. The automatic updating and self adjusting nature of these extremely accurate digital atomic clocks is what makes them really different from less accurate traditional quartz clocks. After going through the process myself I must emphasize how important it is that the directions in the provided instruction booklet are followed exactly when setting this clock up.

Here are some tips for obtaining the best results. Install the remote temperature sensor batteries before installing the batteries on the main unit. I have read in other reviews that Energizer lithium or similar non-rechargeable lithium batteries work the best for a longer life and to hold up...Read more

The "La Crosse Atomic Digital Wall Clock" is a very attractive device that can be hung from a wall or placed on desk/table/counter with the included folding legs.

The unit comes with an outside transmitter for reading the temp and the inside unit displays both the inside and outside readings. We have found it to be very accurate and it has a very good range (over 100' from the house).

Our unit keeps perfect time and also displays the date, day of the week, and phase of the moon.

The clock and transmitter each take 2 AA batteries (not included).

This has been a handy device and is well worth the price. Recommended!

This is the second of two LaCrosse clocks I've purchased I've purchased of this type. Both have indoor/outdoor temp. The outdoor temp feature quit working after a year. I decided to take a risk and buy another. Guess what? Outdoor temp sensor crapped out in about a year's time... again. I bought an Accurite indoor/outdoor temp monitor and a LaCrosse made "Weather Channel" weather station/clock at nearly the same time. All are wireless and the latter two are still working. The remote outdoor temp sensors were kept in the same place under the same conditions. Decide for yourself what you'd like to buy but I wanted to share my experience w/ these clocks after more than a couple of month's use to help you make a decision.
