Title: Do not buy this clock unless you are positive the NIST radio signal is strong in your area
Product review: I bought this clock because it has a simple and attractive design. Both the packaging and the user manual claim that you don't need to be within range of the NIST radio signal to use the clock. Supposedly you can set the clock manually and instruct it to keep time with its internal quartz based timer. As far as I can tell, that claim is false.After following the manual setup instructions precisely, the clock will immediately begin searching for the NIST radio signal again, which it inconveniently indicates by spinning the hands of the clock fairly rapidly. (Don't ask me why it can't just keep time while searching for the signal.)
