La Crosse Technology Wall Clock, Metal, 16-inch Dia. (WT-3161WH)

It was only a couple of switches to set the time zone and a yes/no on daylights savings, then it picked up the atomic clock signal very quickly and set itself. It looks great in my kitchen. It adjusts for daylight savings automatically. It makes no sound. It is very light and can be hung on a small nail in drywall. Although light is has a sturdy quality build. It does everything I want in a clock and a little more.

So far this is working great and picks up WWVB inside my metal shop building. It adjusted properly for DST even though there was a stormy night and my usually reliable Casio watch missed the signal.I suspect the design has been updated from what I have seen in earlier reviews. The movement appears to be held in place with screws now so I am hoping the old problem of the glue coming loose and allowing the movement to shift and pull the hands off is no longer an issue. The clock looks great, keeps perfect time, and has remained silent thus far.

This is an excellent 16” wall clock with very easy to read digits and hands. I gave it 5 Stars and Highly Recommended and it’s very affordable!!!I’d even recommend to my most discerning, snobbish friends. It looks very nice and elegant in a utilitarian kind of way. The silver ones are the best.I actually purchased three of them - 2 for me and 1 for my parents who are older and need a very legible wall clock so they can take their medications on time.I can even read them without my glasses when I wake up in the morning. This was the primary reason why I selected a large 16” wall clock. I really like the option to put three AA batteries for the clock, which will ensure it does not need to be replaced and keep running for a very, very long time.I allowed the clocks to set themselves through tough its Atomic Clock synchronization. It took maybe 6 hours after the installation of the battery, which is OK since I installed them in the early evening, and it was already set to the correct time for Pacific Time by around 11:00PM. I verified it against an Atomic Clock App on my iPhone and it is very, very accurate down to the seconds.The final feature I really liked is that it is SUPER QUIET. No ticking sound that will keep me up at night since I have one in our bedroom.I highly recommend purchasing this clock for larger walls and for an area of the house where everyone look at frequently around the home.I hope you get one and message me if you ever need assistance. Good luck and God Bless!

This clock is big enough to be able to see the numbers from far away. I needed it for a large classroom and it is just what we needed. So easy to set as well and now I don't have to worry about changing the clocks when the time changes. The atomic setting did great too, but I did have to wait a few hours for it to set itself correctly. I liked the option to use 2 extra AA batteries for the battery life to extend to up to 5 years!

Loved the clock & the look of it for my husbands office. I put batteries in it too for it to last longer. Unfortunately the clock quit working in less than a year. Was supposed to last for many years, per the description. Had to throw it away. Waste of money!

I need to update my review. So after a night, the clock adjusted itself and it is now showing the correct time. Wonderful!

We bought this clock for our exercise room as it is large and can be easily seen without glasses. It is a very attractive clock and perfect for our intended use. That being said, there is one problem that I would like to alert future purchasers to, and that is that when the clock goes into the mode of setting itself the first time, that the minute hand seems to go so fast that it chatters and consequently mars the face of the clock with a black line. We sent our first clock back after this occured and solved any future problems with the new clock by laying the clock face down while it sets itself the first time and again at daylight savings time resets. This allows gravity to prevent the minute hand from scraping on the clock face. The directions don't mention this. This is something that we intend to do every year at daylight savings time changes as the clock can only reset itself (in the fall) by going forward 11 hours. It shouldn't be as much of a problem in the spring as it only has to go forward one hour. We will still take the precaution, however, to prevent the marring of the clock face.

I purchased one of these in 2012 and it hung on my office wall ever since. It finally gave out 11 years later. I figured 347,133,600+ seconds ticked off was an acceptable working life for a wall clock. So I bought a new one. The newer version has extra battery slots so it will probably last longer between battery changes (but over the years, I think the old one used like 1 AA battery per year).I've always loved the nice size and it's easy to peek over out of the corner of my eye while working. While I program computers all day and have a clock on the screen, there's something about an analog clock that just let's you feel where you are in your work day.All that being said, my favorite feature is the "Atomic Time" dead on accuracy. Working in IT, I monitor several servers and they have jobs that fire off at various times during the day. Very satisfying when you see the clock on the wall's second hand tick to 12 and see the job fire off at the exact same moment.16" sounds big, but it's not overbearing in my opinion. It's a substantial size and you get the time with just a glance. And the second hand will be dead on accurate with you computer or mobile phone.
