Customer Reviews of LaCrosse WS-8349U Atomic Clock With Temperature and Forecast
High Maintenance Clock It's an astounding looking clock and when it works, it's quite the conversation piece. But initial startup and replacing batteries requires a careful and specific procedure and if the clock is not placed exactly right to receive WWV, you'll have to give it another try. It takes 15 minutes of off time for replacing any or all of the 5 batteries required, then if your WWV signal is week, you may not get a lock and will have to go through the procedure again. Note that you cannot use rechargeable batteries also. If you are just after the outdoor temperature, there are better setups, so shop around. If you are just after the large numerals, I'd recommend the Acu-Rite... it knows what time it is without connecting to WWV and has batteries that last about 5 years that hold the setting... also compensates for daylight savings automagically.
Nice clock but quality seems to be lacking
After only approximately 2 weeks, some of the LCD segments are no longer working for the humidity and the indoor temperature display. I did contact the manufacturer who did provide an RMA for returning the product for testing. It did take LaCrosse approximately 1 week to respond to my inquiry. I also sent an e-mail to Unbeatable Sales on 2/12 regarding the issue and they have yet to respond. Other than the LCD failure, it is a nice clock with lots of features.
Missing Basic Features
I just received this clock. It permits the language for the display to be changed from English to Spanish or French. But it does not permit the display to change from Fahrenheit to Centrigrade, nor does it permit the display to be changed from the 12-hour AM/PM format to the 24-hour international/military format. Seems like some pretty basic features, that would cost almost NOTHING to add. I have other atomic digital clocks, cheaper than this one, that permit these display changes. So it seems that whoever designed this was asleep at the wheel. Almost the entire world uses Centrigrade except the US, and most use the 24hr time format. This is such an American-made product from this perspective. So international buyers AVOID this model.......
