Amazon.com Review
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.

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 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. --Garland Withers

Amazon.com Product Description
Packing high-tech functionality into an attractive form, this digital atomic wall clock from La Crosse Technology keeps unwaveringly accurate time. In addition, it tracks indoor temps, the current phase of the moon, and the outdoor temperature with the help of a remote sensor. Built to hang on the wall or display on a desktop with its foldout stand, the clock is fashioned with a stylish, durable brushed aluminum casing and dual LCD screens made easier to read with generous digits and symbols. The time is set via radio signal for continually updated precision and features 12- or 24-hour display. It automatically adjusts for Daylight Savings Time, or can be switched to ignore the time change when it happens.

Temperature display on this unit is simultaneous for indoors and out, and the date and day of the week appear at the bottom of the screen. Settings are available in English, French, Spanish, or German, and the temp gauge can be set to Fahrenheit or Celsius. The time zone setting is adjustable, and the included alarm is equipped with a snooze option. Finally, the phases of the moon are tracked in twelve incremental icons ranging from new moon to full at the center of the display.

Measuring 12-1/4 by 8 by 1-1/4 inches, the clock comes with wall-mounting hardware and a single La Crosse wireless remote sensor with a transmission range of up to 330 feet. Base and sensor each operate on two AA batteries, which are not included, and La Crosse provides a one-year limited warranty.
