There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
When first given batteries, the hands spin for about 3 to 10 minutes to put all three pointed at 12. That works, all hands find 12, which tells me the hands are installed correctly.
The clock does find the radio signal, because a few minutes after doing the startup "reset dance" to 12, it will start spinning again to set a different time. All pretty normal, it's using holes in internal cogs to figure out where the hands are.
Problem is, it sets itself randomly from 3 hours to 2 hours 40 minutes late for every time zone it can select. If it's 12 Pacific time and you select Pacific time zone using the switch on the back, it sets itself randomly between 2:45 and 3:00. If you select Mountain time, it spins to 4:00 when it's actually supposed to be 1:15. Central, it'll go to 5:00 (when actually 2:15) and Eastern 6:00 (when it's actually 3:15).
The minutes hand inaccuracy seems to randomly vary within a 20-minute range each time I tell it to re-synchronize with the radio signal, so you can't even just remember how far off the clock is and compensate.
I found the hours hand can be spun on its fitting to fix the hours, which is in itself awful but at least helps fix it. Unfortunately even if I got the hours to set correctly from Fort Collins, that random 20-minute variance in the time setting means it's impossible to know how far off the clock is on any given day.
The specs say the material is "Silver" which is usually an 'advertising lie' that means zinc, steel, chrome, or some kind of metal or metallic finish. Nope, all plastic with an ugly gray paint, and that plastic isn't even nice plastic. It feels like that soft bendy plastic they make Halloween pumpkin candy baskets out of.
As I typed this out I tried using the 'Wave' button on the back one last time just to be sure. This forces the clock to reset and look for the radio signal again. It did the same thing as the four other tries. All hands go to 12, then it sits for a few minutes, then the hands start moving again. They spin up to the current time, then blow right past it and stop 3 hours in the future. Except this time the minute hand went to a time that's 15 minutes slow.
Well, what if I just don't use the radio setting (that was the whole point of paying $40 for a clock)?
Nope. Here's how you set it. There's one button you hold down, and while you're holding it down, the minute hand spins. It will only go forward, not backward. When you let go, it stops spinning. And then if it does detect the radio signal again, or whenever you have to change the battery, it will go back to the incorrect time.
That means,
* If your clock is 5 minutes fast and you want to correct that, you have to hold the Set button down for 10 minutes while the clock slowly spins through all 11 hours and 55 minutes.
* If you overshoot that, you have to do it again.
* If it ever hears the radio signal, it will reset to the incorrect time and you have to do it again.
* If you change the batteries, you have to wait 10 minutes for it to spin to 12, wait 30 minutes for it to hear the radio signal, wait another 10 minutes for it to spin to the time it heard, and then hold the Set button for another 10 minutes to spin it manually, for a grand total of *it takes an ACTUAL HOUR to manually set this clock after changing batteries.*
Whoever designed this clock is a sadist. Please, do yourself a favor and get something else. It's impossible to make a clock worse than this, so anything else you buy will be better.

simple, it synched up pretty quickly and has spots for two additional batteries.
