La Crosse Technology 404-00237-INT 18 Atomic Outdoor Clock

The All-In-One Indoor/Outdoor Atomic clock combines accurate temperature and humidity readings with precise timekeeping. It automatically sets itself to the WWVB radio signal from Fort Collins, Colorado, ensuring daily adjustments for accuracy and auto-correction over Daylight Saving Time. This 18-inch analog clock can be enjoyed outdoors, whether by the pool or while working in the garden, thanks to its weather-sealed lens that protects against light precipitation and moisture. However, it is recommended to keep the wall clock in a dry area, away from heavy rainfall and direct sunlight for optimal accuracy and lasting performance.

The thermometer measures temperatures ranging from 0 to 120°F, while the hygrometer scale adjusts to ambient airflow from 1 to 99%RH. The clock features a plastic casing with a metallic silver finish overlaying a bold, white dial with black Arabic numbers. The black metal hands operate on a step ticking movement and are powered by a single AA alkaline battery.

Setting up the clock is easy: simply install a fresh battery with the correct polarity, select the desired Time Zone, and position the clock towards the WWVB signal (back/front) coming from Colorado. It is recommended to allow overnight adjustment for the most accurate time, or manually set the time using the provided button. Once the clock receives the radio frequency, it will automatically adjust to the correct time.

To extend the battery life up to 5 years, an additional compartment allows for the insertion of 2 AA batteries (not included). This feature provides added convenience and eliminates the need for frequent battery replacements.

The clock is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and is weather-resistant. However, it should be kept out of direct sunlight to maintain accuracy and should not be exposed to extreme precipitation for optimal performance.

Overall, the large 18-inch dial, silver-colored frame, and classic white analog design make this clock an attractive and functional addition to any space. The integrated thermometer and hygrometer gauges, along with the glass lens for protection against debris, further enhance its versatility and usefulness.
