Sharp QA Atomic Analogue Wall Clock 2.3 lbs Automatic

I had to set the clock time manually. I tried all the other methods and it wouldn't work but appears to be all right now that I said it manually.

Great clock - good price

Love the size and look of this clock. Works just as expected.

So this Atomic clock is quite stylish right out of the box. It is sleek and silver. It will wok in any room from formal to casual. It is atomic so it is actually interesting to watch. You put the battery in and choose your time zone and the clock "sets" itself. It is interesting to watch the clock turn itself to find the correct time. It is large numbers so it can easily been seen from across the room. I love how it is almost retro to remind me of the old school house clocks. I love this clock so much !!! I highly recommend this to anyone.

I love this clock and the fact that the time will always be correct with a healthy battery. The set up is easy I inserted a battery and the Hands went around then eventually stopped. My time Did not adjust as quickly as suggested in the directions. I had set it up and read that it could possibly take up to 24 hrs for it to communicate with the radio waves. So I let it Be and the time had adjusted correctly over night. I can't say enough good things about this clock and reading About atomic technology it fascinates me Even more.

I have a strong affinity for clocks, and it is evident in my house as you can find clocks in just about every single room except the bathrooms. My mom has a similar attraction. However, one of the annoying things about wall clocks is when day light savings time comes around then it is a bit of a task to get on stools and ladders to change all clocks by either leaping forward or falling back an hour. Well, to my mom and my delight, we got this Sharp atomic wall clock and the problem is solved, minus when the battery needs replacement. This clock sits in my mom's room, and she adores it. It uses one AA battery which is not included. The numbers and hands are big and easily visible despite her poor eyesight. It is super quiet and not heavy. And, the best part is that the time is set by it automatically synchronizing itself with the WWVB radio signal broadcast by the US Government's National Institute of Standards and Technology. There are couple of switches in the back of the clock to designate which time zone and if you are in a state that practices daylight savings time. There are also small buttons where you can override the automatic time sync feature and manually set the clocks yourself. How cool is that? My mom says she trusts this new Sharp atomic wall clock more than any other clocks in the house, and thinks it has the most accurate time.

This Sharp Atomic Clock is super cool. It keeps track of time with amazing precision. Imagine never having to set or change your clock settings ever. This atomic clock has a built-in receiver that automatically synchronizes itself from it's source which is the US government's Atomic clock in Boulder CO. So this clock will always be precisely accurate, even when automatically changing for daylight savings time. The only thing you have to do is change the AA battery when it runs down. When you first get this clock you adjust 2 settings on the back. One setting for your time zone and another setting for daylight saving's time. Then the receiver searches for the signal that adjusts the time. It may take a while to find the signal. My clock took about 24 hours to find the signal. So don't worry if your clock does not set immediately. Once the receiver connects to the signal your clock will always be accurate. The contemporary style will blend with any decor with a silver colored plastic frame. It is 12 inches in diameter. The numbers are large and easy to see. This is a clock that anyone would love. So it would make a great gift. But you'll want one for yourself as well.

First thing i noticed is the large size of the clock. It looked like the usual small wall clocks in the photo. It surprised me how large it is. I also should have read the directions! A clock is a clock right? Upon turning it over to set it. There's 3 push buttons labeled: set, rested, wave. Wave? Then there's 2 switches labeled PMCE, and another ‘on', ‘dst' , ‘off' . I need 1 off switch, 1 time set wheel ! After much dissatisfied button pressing and ghostly hand turning to incorrect time I actually had to go to the website to see how it works and what It does. In the meantime I noticed it set itself. Turns out that's the magical thing about it. Set the DST daylight savings time and it will adjust for that too! It runs quiet no ticking and never need to be set. It was the clock I wanted all along. If only I had read the instructions at the beginning! You'll love it too but READ THE DIRECTIONS.

This has big numbers and simple fonts which are easy to read by anyone. The setting of the clock for the first timers to an atomic clock is a bit tricky. It takes one AA battery. But it would not start so easily by putting battery to it. One has to change time zone in which one resides by setting to Pacific, Central, Eastern or Mountain zone. And Day time saving switch on and off. Then the clock would try to find the radio signal and minutes hands start revolving fast. In my case as I am not in Colarado, I had to manually set the time by putting my thumb on set button so that when the correct time sets in, I removed the thumb to set that time. I assume that Colarado residents don't have to manually set the time as it would set itself.

I was so excited when this clock came. It matches my walls and is a great size compared to the one I had up. The only issue I have is that sometimes it just starts spinning the hands. I know what it is doing but if I need the time...I have to wait til it stops or go find my phone. It's a cool clock that syncs itself.
