Summary: Low quality arm movement; hour hand sticks at 6
Comment: Looks great, had no problem setting it.
However, the hour hand is not rigidly attached to the movement, and so is a bit floppy, and gets stuck on the thermometer, causing it to stop at 6. The minute hand continues to work fine, but I have no idea what hour it is. Taking the clock down from where it's hung and holding it face down will get it unstuck until 6 rolls around again.
Will return for something similar that doesn't have anything to get the hands stuck on.

Summary: This clock works great for me!
Comment: I purchased this clock for my covered patio. I love the way it looks (just like the picture) and it has operated just fine ever since I put the battery in. It's a really attractive piece and a good value for the price.

Summary: Broken clock, Broken support
Comment: I purchased this clock and put it up outside in an unobstructed area, hanging on a wooden fence. It seemed to get a great signal, but about a week after purchase it lost 15 minutes, and didn't recover it.
Went through the reset procedure, 10 days later, same problem, lost 45 minutes, didn't recover it.
By now I'm past Amazon's 30 day return window, so I go to the manufacturer's web site and submit a support request. Only guess what? Their support request page is broken! I submit my info and get this:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e10'
No value given for one or more required parameters.
/pgs/email2.asp, line 36
This, in layman's terms, is lame. First off, rule one is that you catch all errors on your web page and give people a readable explanation of what went wrong. Second, they've just opened the door for hackers by letting then know what SQL server they are using, the fact that they are using ASP, and have provided some info about where their scripts are located.
Stupid. Nothing to do with the clock, but a company that doesn't know how to provide customer support might be one you want to steer clear of for ANY product.
In any case, the performance of the clock is UNSATISFACTORY, the company support is UNSATISFACTORY, and I recommend that under no circumstances do you buy this product.

Summary: Very nice looking clock and thermometer
Comment: Beautiful looking and keeps perfect time as it's an atomic clock. Very easy to set and has a quick set feature that is so easy even a caveman could do it. Gets lots of good comments from friends and relatives.
UPDATE: I have now had the unit outside for about six months and it continues to keep perfect time and the temperature is always correct. It even changed itself to the new daylight savings time.
