Title: Small, accurate, but battery-powered
Product review: The clock is a bit smaller than I expected. I guess that's because I was expecting it to be the same size as the atomic wall clocks that are popular these days. But that's fine - the digits are 1 1/8 inches high - large enough for me to see without my glasses. It would actually make a pretty good travel alarm (though the atomic time setting probably doesn't function overseas).I chose this model because I already have one of Lacrosse's weather stations, and it picks up the temperature signals from the same transmitter. Unlike other atomic clocks I've seen, these clocks from Lacrosse do not seem to be built on cheap crystals that lose seconds (or even minutes!) every day and rely on the atomic clock to keep itself accurate.This would be the perfect alarm clock for me if only it could be plugged in, and remain lit continuously. The EL backlight only comes on for 4 seconds after you've pressed a button, to conserve battery power.
