5.0 out of 5 stars GIANT ATOMIC WALL CLOCK, October 17, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Jumbo Giant Digital Atomic Wall Clock Thermometer. 4.5" Tall Numbers Readable from 30 Feet! (Misc.)
First, I've bought about 12 smaller Atomic clocks over the years and usually end up giving them to friends.

My biggest question about this clock was does it have a Wave button to force it to look for a signal, and the picture everyone uses to advertise this clock makes it appear to have a backlight. It does have a Wave button (see my pictures of the backside controls), and it is not backlighted (see my picture of the giant and normal clocks with a $10 bill for scale).

I first bought a smaller clock from Amazon model "La Crosse Technology WS-811561-W atomic digital wall clock with solar-powered sensor" but it was missing Wave buttons for the time and temperature, and the solar-powered thermometer didn't take batteries and was poorly documented in the manual -- it just felt cheap compared to other clocks I've owned. The deal breaker was when I called La Crosse Technology for help minutes after taking it out of the box -- I was left on hold for 30 minutes and then... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Digital Clock with Very Large Numbers, October 6, 2011
This review is from: Jumbo Giant Digital Atomic Wall Clock Thermometer. 4.5" Tall Numbers Readable from 30 Feet! (Misc.)
Great digital clock. Just purchased my second one. First one is in the office at work the second will be for our warehouse. The large digital numbers are easily readable from across any large room or warehouse. Very accurate as it updates itself nightly. We have issues at work punching in and out on time as most of our clocks are set at different times. Not anymore. I am even thinking of getting one for my elderly mother to use at home. Easily 5 stars.

This review is from: Jumbo Giant Digital Atomic Wall Clock Thermometer. 4.5" Tall Numbers Readable from 30 Feet! (Misc.)
I ordered two of these clocks for work. Both units arrived well sealed and in good condition. No complaints there. They are made of plastic, but I expected that. As far as visibility, that's as described as well - not back lit, which can be good or bad depending on your needs.

The clocks, however, do not sync up to retreive the time. I've tried to push the wave button (per the instructions) as well as just let them sync automatically - no luck on either clock. Also, one of the two clocks keeps the "low battery" indicator on even though fresh batteries are in the unit. Just not sure about these clocks...

4.0 out of 5 stars Great features and works well if you set it up correctly, December 23, 2008
By 
SoCalReviews (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: La Crosse Technology WS-8418U-IT Atomic Digital Wall Clock with Moon Phase (Kitchen)
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

5.0 out of 5 stars Outside Temp, Atomic Time, Great Value - Recommended, November 30, 2008
By 
C. F. Hill "CFH" (Blue Ridge Summit, PA USA) - See all my reviews
(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: La Crosse Technology WS-8418U-IT Atomic Digital Wall Clock with Moon Phase (Kitchen)
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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Immaculate Time!, August 29, 2008

This review is from: La Crosse Technology WS-8418U-IT Atomic Digital Wall Clock with Moon Phase (Kitchen)
This clock keeps immaculate time and is good looking as well. The only thing I would do is add an anti-glare covering as it is hard to read when the sun hits it. It looks good with the rest of my furniture. The time is easily read at any distance, but you need to get closer to see the date, day and temperatures. The moon phase is a cool little conversation piece and it's fun to see which phase the moon is in as it moves across the clock face.

La Crosse Technology WS-8157U-CH-IT Atomic Clock with Outdoor Temperature and Weather Forecast

Customer Rating :
Rating: 3.8
List Price : $64.95 Price : $31.27 La Crosse Technology WS-8157U-CH-IT Atomic Clock with Outdoor Temperature and Weather Forecast

Product Description

The La Crosse Technology® WS-8157U-CH-IT provides you with the Atomic time/date and indoor/outdoor temperature. It also features a weather forecasting function with 3 weather icons and a weather tendency indicator.

Amazon.com Review

When is a clock not just a clock? When it provides so much more than just the time: temperature, time accuracy within one second per year, and a weather forecast, for example. This handsome wall clock, with its dual LCD screens and black-accented cherry finish, is an example of household life being enhanced by science. The WS-8157U-CH can hang on the wall or stand freely, with a built-in, fold-out stand. Radio-controlled time (to the hour, minute, and second) and date are prominently displayed, along with indoor and outdoor temperatures measured in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. The day of the week can be displayed in English, French, Spanish or German.

Time can be displayed in 12- or 24-hour modes, and time zones from Greenwich Mean Time to -12 GMT can be selected, with three-letter identifications for US time zones. An alarm feature is useful as a timer, and, if the clock happens to hang or stand near a bed (or a couch that's used for napping), a snooze feature allows for gradual wake-up. The weather forecast, estimated to be 75% accurate, is based on change in air pressure over time. Three icons--a sun, a sun with clouds, or two rain clouds--indicate imminent changes in the weather. And there are two weather tendency arrows as well, indicating changes in air pressure.

The clock comes with La Crosse transmitter TX37U-TI. Clock and transmitter each operate on two AA batteries. For options in wall mounting, three screws and screw anchors and a strong adhesive tape are included. The WS-8157U-CH-IT measures 12-1/4 by 8 by 1-1/4 inches. La Crosse provides a one-year limited warranty on its clocks. Each clock comes with a thoroughly detailed instruction booklet. --Garland Withers

  • Displays time/date, indoor and outdoor temperature, and forecast icon
  • WWVB radio controlled time and date
  • Forecasts weather 12-20 hours in advance
  • Decorative cherry panels
  • Wall hanging or free standing

3.0 out of 5 stars Not intuitive when it acts up, December 23, 2006
By 
BL "Dynamo" (California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: La Crosse Technology WS-8157U-CH-IT Atomic Clock with Outdoor Temperature and Weather Forecast (Kitchen)
For the month I've owned the clock did what it what it was suppose to do. Last week the outside temperature quit working. The outside sensor batteries were still fresh. Resetting the clock by pulling the batteries took about an hour for the clock to seek and set. Then I had to access the internet instructions to figure out how to reset the time zone. This is not intuitive. It is working again but I dread the thought of it acting up.

EDIT- IT ACTED UP AGAIN 6 days later. No outside temperature. I'm waiting for the clock to 'find' the temperature remote that is sitting only 3-inches away.

3.0 out of 5 stars Failed after 4 years - but good for those 4., January 14, 2009
By 
Home Arts (Long Beach, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: La Crosse Technology WS-8157U-CH-IT Atomic Clock with Outdoor Temperature and Weather Forecast (Kitchen)
I bought this clock approx 4 years ago and it recently began to fail, so here I am shopping for a replacement. Initially I had a lot of problems with the temperature sensor (but according to reviews, on every single one of these products the outdoor sensor is rubbish.) Some days the outdoor temp would read fine and some days it wouldn't - mostly it worked pretty well and I was happy with it once I found a spot where the outdoor sensor worked. In the past 3 months, however, the clock has been failing to sync and the time goes off for no reason. The temperature sensor has been registering less and less as well. A change of batteries did not help.

So - I love atomic clocks, love having an outdoor/indoor temperature sensor but wish this one had a longer lifespan. It's also hard to believe that NOBODY can make an outdoor temperature sensor that works properly and is weather resistant. It took something like two weeks of experimentation to find the right spot out of... Read more

This review is from: La Crosse Technology WS-8157U-CH-IT Atomic Clock with Outdoor Temperature and Weather Forecast (Kitchen)
on July 17th, 2009 a La Crosse Atomic Clock model 8157U-CH-IT from Amazon, and received it on or about the 25th. After trying to get it to register the outside temperature for a week, using new and different brands of batteries in the clock and the outdoor sensor and having no luck I contacted LaCrosse. They said it was probably due to the batteries and sent me instructions for restarting the clock. I told them I had the instructions and had tried everything they mentioned. They said they would send me a shipping label to return the clock as it was still under warranty. I returned the clock at my expense and then about 10 days later received it back and it was not my clock, but a different model. I contacted them and they send me another shipping label to mail this clock back. After about two weeks I received my clock back and it still did not work. I tried for two weeks to get it to work and then gave it to my daughter to try at her house and she also took it to her cabin... Read more
