“ Keeping in mind that I write this almost 2 years after purchase, this clock did well, right until it stopped displaying the accurate hour. A friend of mine would like one but have put off buying it till it comes back down in price.” Mike Golf Says: Gave 2 Stars $39.97 seemed a fair price when I bought it so will wait for it to come back down around that price. It is a nice clock it’s not worth that much. It was $59 something but I see now it’s come back to $43 something. I also would like to point out shortly after ordering this, (a few short weeks), the price of this item went up quite a bit. I did see that they do offer one with a light but not sure I’d like it so am sticking with this one. This isn’t a major issue since I’m working out during daylight hours. The only thing I don’t really like is that it isn’t backlit so if you’re in a dark room, you can’t see what time it is. I liked it because the numbers were big and it also has the seconds on it. “I ordered this clock to hang in my work out room. The company was helpful when I called and they sent a copy of the instructions that were large enough to be easily readable.” J Wingler Says: Gave 5 Stars Getting the clock to initially connect to the atomic clock was tricky. Setup was a little problematic as the buttons on the back of the clock are very sensitive to the touch. ![]() This clock stays accurate (links to the Atomic Clock in Colorado). “I have been so frustrated with the non digital wall clocks that only stay close to accurate for a few days before getting ahead of behind the actual time. Only purchase this clock if you plan to install it at your approximate eye level.” Frank A Terry Junior Says: Gave 4 Stars So I ended up reinstalling it with a backing board at about a 30 degree angle facing down. This problem began to resolve as I backed away from the clock. I installed this clock above a door 7+ feet from the floor, but unfortunately, I could not read the time up close because ALL the numerals available on the clock would appear at the same brightness level as the actual time. However, several hours after the clock was hung on the wall, the “atomic” icon appeared and the clock has been completely accurate now for several days. ![]() “When received, this clock could not find the “atomic” signal for at least 5 tries, so I set the time manually. And lastly it is available for a price of $21.97 as of now Some Reviews Michael Clare Says: Gave 3 Stars It has the following dimensions: 9 by 1 by 7.2 inches and requires a total of 2 AA batteries to work, which don’t come included with the clock. It comes with an alarm and will tell you the inside temperature too. So without further ado, lets get right to it La Crosse Technology WT-8005U-S Atomic Digital Wall ClockĪn atomic clock with a self-setting time and date feature. Video can’t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: How Do Atomic Clocks Work? ()Īnyways knowing the impact that atomic clocks have on our daily lives, today we decided to take a look at some of our very favorite atomic digital wall clocks with large displays that you can buy for yourself. Moreover, there are thousands of experiments being performed that we completely base on the accuracy of atomic clocks. To elaborate on the impact that they have had on our life, here are a few things that we wouldn’t have if it weren’t for the atomic clocks: the internet, GPS, and many other major things that run our world the way it is today. An example of a famous place it is used at is CERN, NASA, and many others. And there are atomic clocks now that far exceed that level of accuracy too. The authenticity of atomic clocks being the most accurate clocks can be inferred by the fact that it looses 1 second after every 138 million years. ![]() Atomic clocks are the epitome of accuracy that we have reached after years and years of experimentation and hardwork by thousands of scientist, its mere invention shows how far we have come and evolved from the very first mechanical clock that was created in China that was used to tell the location of celestial bodies to help us know what time of day it was.
