This clock is totally accurate to the second, but I wonder if a Brain Surgeon could program it? The display icons are microscopically small. If you have a microscope, you can read the display icons easily. If you misplace the directions, you may as well throw the clock out, because it is impossible to figure out how to set it to your time zone. If you don't mind the clock being in the wrong time zone, needing to shine a light on the display to see the time and being unable to tell if the alarm is on or off, it is a great clock.

 
Works great in my bedroom.
By Son of a (Soldering) Gun. from NYC on 11/27/2007
Pros:
Attractive Design, Clear Display, Keeps Good Time
Cons:
Won't always sync
Best Uses:
Anywhere with good signal, Bedroom, Desk
Describe Yourself:
Bargain Hunter, Techy boy
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Won't always sync in the living room (downstairs). But syncs fine in the bedroom (upstairs). In between syncs the clock is still very accurate (compared to online atomic time & cable TV clock).

My old 1970 Atomic Clock has long ext wire antenna for strong signal. I'm guessing most small atomic clocks will have similar syncing problems (without ext antenna).

 
2nd clock works fine
By "Doctor" DaleVerified Reviewer from Allentown, Pa. on 11/21/2007
Pros:
Attractive Design, Clear Display, Keeps Good Time, Reliable
Best Uses:
Bedroom, Desk
Describe Yourself:
Practical
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I took the first clock back to be exchanged after about 2 weeks of ownership. The 2nd clock works beautifully. It receives radio updates properly and works in all rooms of my house. (The first clock would not receive signal reliably). [...]

 
clock struggles to receive sync signal
By "Doctor" DaleVerified Reviewer from Allentown, Pa. on 11/15/2007
Pros:
Attractive Design, Clear Display
Cons:
sync signal hard to get, Unreliable
Best Uses:
Bedroom, Desk
Describe Yourself:
Practical
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Clock has a clear display and controls are easy to set from front. One major drawback is that clock is very location sensitive. It can receive sync signal from only one room in my house, which is not room where I want to use it. I had clock about 8 days and it successfully sync'd only twice. It cannnot receive the signal on 2nd story of my house. It can receive signal only from one room on 1 st floor of my house. A nice modification would be a short telescoping antenna. I have other atomic clocks including a wristwatch which have reliably received signal everyday for 5 years
