Amazon.com Review
When is a clock not just a clock? When it provides so much more than just the time: temperature, phase of the moon, and accuracy within one second per year, for example. This handsome wall clock, with its dual LCD screens and black-accented brushed aluminum finish, is an example of household life being enhanced by science. The WS-8117U-AL 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. Moon phase shows in twelve increments, from new moon, through gibbous and crescent phases (waxing and waning), to quarter and finally full moon. The clock comes with La Crosse wireless transmitter TX37U-IT. 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-8117U-AL 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

 As Advertised November 21, 2008
Rather be riding (Oregon, USA)
Works fine and arrived quickly. The only disappointment was there's no way to illuminate display at night (but I haven't checked with manufacturer yet). Remote sensor works fine in our challenging situation.
Works great November 12, 2008

No complaints with this one. Picks up the radio signal no problem. Keeps perfect time, and set itself to DST within one day of the time change. Temperature monitoring is fine, but you cannot put the remote sensor anywhere in direct sunlight or the readings will be wacky. I highly recommend.
Radio Controlled Clock November 10, 2008
William R. Phillipson (CA, USA)
I purchased this clock about one month ago. It performs exactly as specified. I was particularily interested in the clock's ability to be set to UTC and 24 hour mode. It's a little early to give a definitive critique. Perhaps I can update this review a year from now.
Others who have purchased this clock seem very satisfied with it.
So far, I am completely satisfied with my clock too.
Great clock September 5, 2008
Bob Dobbs (Washington, DC USA)
I have had this item for 3 years and it still does well. Once the battery leaked and ruined the outdoor sensor -- the battery company sent $20 to reimburse me for buying a new one.
Works well August 18, 2008

Much better range/reception from remote temp sensor than 433Mhz skyscan model I replaced. If anything, the temp updates too often (4 seconds), fluctuating by half a degree or so. Personally I think 10 to 15 second temp updates would be more reasonable with a bit more stability in the readings. The time reception syncronized very quickly even from middle of my house. More color choices for the side face panels (or simply removing the useless side panels) would be a nice addition. But all in all I am very pleased with this product.
