Review on 🕰️ Sharp Atomic Analog Wall Clock - 12 Inch Silver Brushed Finish - Automatic Time Setting - Battery Operated - Easy-to-Read & User-Friendly - Versatile Design for Any Decor by Matt Travers

This thing is absolute bullshit for any price let alone $40 and yes I followed all the instructions. I thought I was paying too much to get something with quality control. Boy was I wrong. When I first got the batteries, the hands rotate from 3 to 10 minutes to set all three hands to 12. It works, all hands find 12, which tells me the hands are set correctly. The clock actually finds the radio signal, because a few minutes after it starts the "reset dance" to 12, it starts turning again to set a different time. Everything is pretty normal, he uses the holes in the inner bolts to figure out where the arrows are. The problem is that he's randomly late from 3 hours to 2 hours 40 minutes for any time zone he can choose. If it is 12:00 PM PST and you select the PST time zone with the switch on the back, it will automatically be set between 2:45 and 3:00. If you select Mountain Time, it rotates to 4:00 when it should actually be 1:15. Central will go until 5:00 (when it's actually 2:15) and East 6:00 (when it's actually 3:15). The inaccuracy of the minute hand seems to change randomly within a 20-minute range every time I say it to resynch it with the radio signal, so you can't even remember how far behind the watch is lies, and compensate for this. helps fix. Unfortunately, even if I set the clock correctly in Fort Collins, this random 20-minute difference in the time setting means it's impossible to know how far back the clock is on any given day. The specs say the material is "silver," which is usually a "publicity lie" meaning zinc, steel, chrome, or some type of metal or metallic finish. No, all the plastic is ugly gray paint, and this plastic isn't even nice plastic. It's like the soft, flexible plastic that Halloween pumpkin candy baskets are made of. As I was typing this, I tried pressing the "Wave" button on the back one last time, just to be sure. This will reset the clock and search for a radio signal again. This did the same as four other attempts. All darts go to 12, then he sits for a few minutes, then darts start moving again. They spin up to the current time, then zoom past it and stop 3 hours into the future. Only this time the minute hand is 15 minutes behind the clock. What if I just don't use the radio setting (that's the whole point of paying $40 for a watch)? no Here's how to set it up. There is a button that you hold down and as you hold it down the minute hand spins. It only goes forward, not backward. When you let go, it stops spinning. And then when it detects a radio signal again, or when you need to change the battery, it goes back to the wrong time. This means: * If your clock is 5 minutes off and you want to correct it, press and hold the "Set" button for 10 minutes while the clock slowly counts down every 11 hours and 55 minutes to do it again.* If it ever hear a radio signal, they will reset to the wrong time. and you have to do it again * When you change the batteries, you need to wait 10 minutes for it to spin up to 12, wait 30 minutes for it to hear the radio signal, and wait another 10 minutes for it to spin up to the time. he listened and then held the 'set' button for another 10 minutes to turn it manually, total * it takes an ACTUAL HOUR to manually set this watch after changing the battery. * Whoever designed this watch is a sadist. Please do yourself a favor and buy something else. It doesn't get any worse than this watch, so everything you buy gets better.
