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. p 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. p 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. i--Garland Withers/i

 Attractive looking accurate digital wall clock January 9, 2009
LEDZEP (Massachusetts)
This clock has worked very good for 2 years. It is still working after 3 years and the time is still atomically synced, but the outdoor temperature sensor stopped working after about 2 years and it is not displayed on the clock. I changed the battery in the sensor and tried all suggestions in the manual and tried to sync it again, but could not get temperature back. I even called the manufacturer, but they were no help. Originally I mainly purchased it for the clock, but grew to like the outside temp feature. I would give it five stars if the temp still functioned.
 Outdoor temp reader not working. January 6, 2009
Jeffrey M. Zerkle (Tipp City, OH)
I had recieved one as a gift a few years ago. About a year after having it, the outdoor temp reader went bizerk. Most of the time there are only 2 dashes where the temp should show. Sometimes, the number display counts from 0 to 59 continuously. Overall, if the outdoor temp continued to work, I would purchase it again. I love how large the numbers are-very easy to read across the room.
 Love the Clock January 5, 2009
Lily Ann Plumb
Hey, just got both of these today and I set them and now I have a quiet clock, plus knowing what the temp is outside. I had two of those tick tick clocks which is annoying. Now I have quiet and love them. They were easy to set. Quality is great too.
Not JUST a clock! December 30, 2008

My friend Gabriel and I argued whether this atomic clock with remote temperature is the "Air Supply of atomic clocks with remote temperature" as he put it or--as I would assert--the "Hall Oates of atomic clocks with remote temperature." This argument ended, as so often they do with Gabriel, with me pouring Ragu all over his hands. br / br /I can see where the remote temperature feature would lead Ol' Spaghetti Sauce Hands to think of this clock as very "Lost in Love," or even "I'm All Out of Love." But don't tell me that the minute you plug in this beauty from La Crosse, you're not going to look in the mirror and say, "I just invested in the most wonderful atomic clock known to man! And I can rely on the old man's money. I can rely on the old man's money!" Because that is what you will say in the mirror. br / br /My intolerance for Gabriel's assessment is inversely proportional to how well this clock tells atomic time and temperature. And you can take that to the bank, rich girls.
Good product December 27, 2008
Brady Gries (Marion, IA)
This atomic clock works exactly as advertised. Only took about 10 minutes to get set up. Read the directions before you start putting in batteries and setting the time. You have to do it in a certain order to sync the external temp sensor. The external temp sensor signal has worked flawlessly. The sensor is outside my front door and the clock is in my basement with no problems getting the signal. Recommended!
