La Crosse Technology 512-85937-INT Atomic Digital Wall Clock with Temperature & Forecast in Gray/Silver

I have had one of these for years. I thought it was broken so I bought this. However, I changed the battery in mine and got it working. So I decided to give this as a gift. The person really liked it a lot. I sometimes buy used like new so this was in good shape for a very good price. These are accurate for temperature and time and as a bonus they set time by itself. It is easy to see.

This has worked well for us and like the idea of in and out temp.

Easy to set and give accurate time and temp

I only docked it a star because the needless "weather forecast" icon in the middle is both pointless and, unfortunately, not accurate. Mine shows clouds & rain on a sunny day all the time. For all I know that is a weather service problem and not the clock's, who knows, but how many of us need to look over at our wall clock to see what the weather is like? That space could have been used to slightly enlarge the other data such as the date. And it is just annoying seeing "wrong" weather icons on it all the time. Okay that was a lot to say that sounds bad about this clock BUT it really is an EXCELLENT looking clock. It works. Big numbers easy to see from across the room. Classy metallic silvery look even though it is plastic. So yeah I recommend it, for a clock. But not a weather predicting device. Good value for the money though.

No backlight option was available, but that would drain the battery a lot faster. An optional button that would offer illumination for 10 seconds or so would be nice. The batteries that I use last a long time.The ones I have in are going on 6 months in both the outdoor sensor and the inside unit.Another nice feature would be to show humidity levels and/or to note daily high's and lows of temperature and/or Humidity. However, the weather forecast icon based on barometric levels is a great feature.However, at the price point this was at, it is a solid value and it performs very well. I really like that it shows the day as (i.e. SUN) with numerical month/date instead of all numbers. That was a huge selling point for me.Other units would show 11/3/2024. Great, But what day is it? Hey, when you're retired days and dates can blend in rather easily.But even working full time for years, sometimes you'll find yourself asking what DAY it is when you ask the date and someone says "the 3rd" and you'll have to ask: Great, Now, what DAY is it?I'd recommend this unit. If you buy one, it can take longer than you expected for the station to find the Atomic Clock signal. At least it did for mine in my location, but it did and the auto-set for time zones is an added plus.

Purchased this for my mother for Xmas and she truly loves it. She keeps it in her bathroom and the thermometer sits just outside of the window. I thought she might use it in her bedroom, so I purposely did not buy the backlit version thinking the light might keep her up at night, so just be mindful of placement before you make a choice. We're happy with the non-backlit version, but on sunny days with a glare, it can be a little hard to read.

This is a very reliable and durable unit. The battery life is great and the temperature is accurate both inside and outside temps. I have it on my wall and did not have to adjust the brightness or another angle.

Does exactly what I need it to do. Not a complete weather station but give the necessary data in a compact pkg. I like the silver case and two AA batteries takes care of business. La Crosse is a proven technology that I have relied upon for 20 yrs. Can't go wrong with this unit.
