Radio Controlled Wall Clock (Official UK & Ireland Version), Stylish Silver & White Bold Classic Design (25cm / 10-Inch Diameter), Home/Kitchen/Office/School Clock, Easy to Read

A good clock that's easy to read from a distance.

Pleased with the clock. Good size with clear numerals at a distant. Setting up was not as quick as I would have hoped. Eventually set it up in another room then moved it to permanent position. Similar experience when the clocks were to be set back. Stopped with all hands at 12 and many restarts and resets failed although other radio clocks had updated. However, patience, and it's keeping good time and I am pleased with purchase. Put it down to signal strength. Have experienced this problem with other radio clocks but not life threatening.

Easy to set up, insert battery, press the Receive button to initiate clock to accept a radio signal, the hands will perform a single 12 hour sweep, return back to 12 and then within 5 minutes the clock will set to the correct time. Fascinating to watch, it's like magic, you can't help but sit and watch it happen.The flaw, the clock movement i.e. the depth of the case, extends beyond the clock housing in the back of the clock so you cannot hang the clock flush against the wall, if you do the buttons are pressed against the wall and advances the minute. Probably not the most annoying thing in the world, but still a bad design. If I'd known this I probably wouldn't have bought this but a decent price for a 25cm clock.The clock is suitable for a large room (5m sq) with clear white face with black numerals. The second, does tick which might annoy some, but I wouldn't suggest hanging this in a quiet room, such as a study or bedroom.

This is my first atomic clock and I made sure that I read the instructions thoroughly before I installed the battery. To be honest, all I needed to do was to put the AA battery in and the clock did the rest. First, it sent the hour, minute and second hands all around until they were all pointing at 12 and then it began to search for the signal from Cumbria. That took about five minutes to receive and the clock then set itself to the correct time. It really was as easy as that.In appearance, the clock resembles the sort of timepiece that you would see on a railway station back in British Railway days, or something that would be on the wall of an institutional office. It is purely utilitarian, with a face that is easy to read, a factor which is very important to me as I get older and my eyes become wonkier.At ten inches across the dial is large enough for the average living room wall, and the clock is a good two inches thick. I suspect that has less to do with the need to provide space for its workings and more to do with the fact that this clock aims at copying the style of institutional clocks of yore.The clock ticks softly, something which is not needed with its battery operation, but it is an agreeable, soothing sound that does not distract from the radio, television or conversations.All in all a very good purchase at a very reasonable price.

Put a battery in, hang it on nail or screw and forget it. It soon sets itself, it is accurate to the second, adjusts for DST / BST as needed, batteries last for a very long time, (even cheap ordinary alkaline or zinc batteries), it's silent, easy to read at some distance, looks OK and great value for the price. What's not to love!!

I made the mistake of buying this atrocious product almost 6 months ago. The main flaw is that it does not change when BST finishes (and presumably when it starts). So logic would dictate to perform a reset where upon I would expect it to reset the time and sync up. The problem is that it resets to 12:00 and just stays there permanently. So after waiting a while I pulled the battery out and put it back in. As before it still makes no attempt to do anything at all. So I am now left with a clock that is right twice a day at midnight and midday only. And before someone says it is a reception problem the clock sync'd up perfectly upon installing the battery when new and when replaced recently in exactly the same location. Now the garbage won't do anything at all. So basically when buying this you can expect at most 6 months from it, as when the clocks change it will not change and when reset will likely stop working completely. Furthermore, just to rub salt in the wounds there is seemingly no way to set it manually either. Even if there is a way to set it up manually there might as well not be as the instructions (if they actually exist at all?!) cannot be found on the net and if there were some with it I no longer have them!

Received this clock within 48 hours. Very well packaged. Very simply just pop a AA battery in the correct orientation, and placed the clock on the wall. The hour, minute and second hands will move clockwise to the 12 position and will wait for a successful signal to indicate accurate time. Mine took an afternoon to get a signal as expected living so close to the coast and in a valley. There are functions to force the clock to receive a signal, or set the time manually. I understand that radio accuracy signals are transmitted every two hours so I waited. If you set the time manually, surely that negates the notion of an automated clock. Anyway, if you do set time manually the clock should eventually get the transmitted signal and automatically set itself. We'll do for reading this far and don't worry, nearly done. The clock is clear and the hands align okay-is. The second hand is not a constant sweep, it steps. There is a very slight sound of the mechanism if you are very close to it but not anything to annoy. I choose this as I am fussy about accuracy and bone idol to adjust twice a year for GMT and BST. I don't have OCD but it is pleasing to see the time accurately and synchronised on all devices, phones and clocks.

A clear face and simple instructions make this very accurate clock a joy to have, in our room.
