🕒 La Crosse Technology 513-1419BLv4-INT: Atomic Full Calendar Clock with Extra Large Digits - Ideal Elderly Gift with Backlight Review

Loved the large format Highlight the time, day, month and date. It was exactly what we wanted, but: in less than a year, time started to go wrong. It only jumped for 8, 10, or 12 hours and didn't "fix" like it should. In fact, you had to pick it up off the wall and drop it every time. We still love the beautiful backlit display, but you know that constantly resetting the time is becoming an issue. And if you think the battery might be low. no It is connected to the network.

At first I couldn't set the clock correctly and as I mostly learn by reading the instructions are very poorly written. The watch never worked properly so the company sent a second one for which I am grateful. The second worked, but the temperature sensor doesn't register the true temperature, and the light is so bright at night that I have to cover it (I needed a clock for the bedroom), which defeats the whole purpose of getting it - at night to read the time. I will definitely never buy this…

I just love this product. I just wanted to give it 4 stars because it doesn't show seconds. But I read "destroy" and found that the third field can be set to date, temperature, or seconds. The destruction is easy to understand, even if the writing is too small. As a scientist like me, it's important to be accurate to within a fraction of a second. Even to do something as complex as building organic killer robots that can walk through a metal detector, or something as simple as building phased…

I thought this watch might be too small. LOL Boy was I wrong. I just quit my cable company and wanted a watch where the DVR used to be. Yes, I could look at my iPad or phone to check the time, but it's not the same. At 75, my eyes aren't as young as they used to be, so I wanted something I could easily see around the room, and this little gem (okay, not that small) is perfect for that. I'm just not sure if it's not a bit bigger than I would like for this place. You can make cosmetic repairs and

Update: 2 days after the Revain return period the clock resets itself. Instead of correctly showing 8:30 on Monday 12 April, it was showing 00:00 again on Tuesday 1 January (probably 2019). Not healthy. I need a reliable watch but this is not available. LaCrosse doesn't work well in the reply line during business hours and I was forced to leave a message. Let's see if they are behind this product. (I also have a LaCrosse atomic clock that has served me perfectly for many years, so the problem…

A few months ago I bought a basic LED wall clock (not this one) and was disgusted to find that it was about 2 minutes behind every month. I had to get up on a stool every 2 weeks to reset the time. Very uncomfortable. And apparently modern (cheap) clocks don't have the ability to adjust the speed of their movement. Grrr! Now I know I should have bought that "atomic clock". If this watch works as advertised, I will be very satisfied. I've only had it for about 1 week so I can't report on the…

Normal watch for a decent price considering "atomic". He uses WWVB, a very long-wave radio station in Colorado, USA. Contrary to popular belief, your local radio station is not the source of the signal. Because the waveform is so long and slow, it only carries one bit of data per second. It takes a full minute to transfer enough data to set the clock. It's literally spreading across North America. Coverage maps are available online. I live in the mid-Atlantic and have found that the mirror in…
