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 oak finish, is an example of household life being enhanced by science. The WS-8117U 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 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 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

 Does not sync time August 26, 2010
Minh Nguyen
Great concept. Except this thing does not sync time when it's in my office. If I take it outside, it will sync time properly.
 clock August 17, 2010

OK but we never did get the clock to set atomic to work like it was suppose to.. Other than that I like it....
Great Clock, but be careful what batteries you use if... August 9, 2010
Roger D. Pavey (Iowa, USA)
This is a great clock. We have owned one for over nine months and rely on it for time and temperature every day. While the phase of the moon is not very important to us, the outdoor temperature, calendar, and atomic-accurate time is great. If you live in a cold weather climate, you will probably need to buy lithium AA batteries for the outside sensor. Our sensor kept failing initially, and like other reviews, we thought maybe we would have to replace the sensor. It was actually the batteries that were failing. Alkaline AA batteries could not handle the extreme Iowa cold. We installed two lithium AA batteries (about $3 each), and the clock (and sensor) have worked like a charm since.
 Good stuff July 18, 2010

John Sandwell (Evansville Indiana)
I am very pleased with this clock. Exactly what I was looking for to replace another atomic clock. Looks great and performs great too.
