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 oak finish, is an example of household life being enhanced by science. The WS-8117U 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 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 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

4 out of 5 stars Excellent...until it can't sync with Colorado   November 11, 2008
We've had this clock plus another style of same vendor's product for ~ 5 years. Of late the Oak-grain clock has failed to sync with the Colorado atomic clock. It just will not do it. Annoying, as its main benefit is frustrated...still works as a quartz clock, though. The other clock still syncs with Colorado well, but does a poor job of syncing with the outside T probe.

Go figure.



1 out of 5 stars CAUTION - Doesn't adjust PST/PDT on the new schedule.   October 29, 2008
My La Crosse clock does not reset/adjust itself on the new PST/PDT time schedule. We live on the west coast near Watsonville, Ca. The clock resets on the old schedule and there is no way to adjust or correct it. Customer support will not even consider such a problem and suggest putting in a fresh battery, which I did but of course didn't work.


5 out of 5 stars Easy to Use Easy to Read   October 18, 2008
This wall clock/weather station is easy to set up,does it itself. It has a large display for those of us with aging eyes. Accurate time and temperature and is there for you in a power outage.


4 out of 5 stars LaCrosse Atomic Clock   October 16, 2008
The clock (Model WS-8117U-IT) has performed as advertised for the nearly three months I've had it. It was simple to set up and after a few moments, set it itself to the local time. The only complaint, if you want to call it that, is that the phases of the moon representation seems backwards -i.e., a full moon is presented as a completely black disc versus the more usual completely white disc. Certainly not a drawback to its usefulness.


5 out of 5 stars Exceptional Product.   October 6, 2008
This is the third time I have ordered this product. I would like to have one in each room of my home. This last one, however, was ordered for use as a Christmas gift. It is an outstanding product that you never even touch until the batteries need replacing, and you never worry about having the EXACT correct time.
