Seth Thomas Circular I White Plastic Case with White Dial Classic Round Quartz Wall Clock

This clock could have been complicated to set up, but it was not because the manufacturer had done all the difficult parts. At the back of the clock is a small digital clock powered by a small flat disk battery. The digital clock already had its battery and was preset for both time and date. The date is important because the clock is supposed to automatically reset when we switch between Savings and Daylight times. The digital clock needed only to be told what time zone it is in. Do that before putting two AA batteries into the large clock. When you install the two AA batteries, the hands start circling until the clock gets to the right time. Probably, once the battery in the small digital clock runs down, one will have to replace it and reset the little digital clock on the back. There are instructions in the box for that. This is not an atomic clock. (We never get the satellite that sends that information even if we mount a clock in the window.)

This seems to be a very good clock. We've had ours for a couple of years - long enough to judge. When we first got it, the time was slightly off, and it was somewhat challenging to correct the time, but I managed.

Since then it has kept accurate time, and I really like how it resets itself automatically for daylight savings time and standard time. Wonderful! I also like very much the large, easy-to-read numerals and second hand.

So far so good. Very easy to set up and easy to tell the time. Just set the digital clock in the back, hang it up, and watch it set itself. The kids enjoyed watching the dials move around setting itself. Now we have to wait until day-light savings to see if it actually works.
