La Crosse Technology Wall/Table Clock, 6.85-inch H x 8.66-inch W x 0.95-inch D (WT-8002U) (WT-8002U-INT)

I bought this clock for the wall in my kitchen. So far, the clock seems to work great! PROS: The clock has a very large display. I love the fact that it features the time, date, day and temperature. The description on the box promises that the clock can run for up to two years on a single new AA-sized alkaline battery. The clock is very attractive in appearance. CONS: The display becomes more difficult to read from an angle. Anyone who has ever owned a wristwatch or calculator with an LCD display has seen this phenomenon; so, this should be of no surprise to anyone who purchases the clock. Overall, I am very pleased with the clock. I installed a new AA battery on January 1, 2014; so, I will see how long the clock actually runs on that battery (I did not use an alkaline battery; so, it probably will not last two years. However, alkaline batteries sometimes have a tendency to leak; so, I decided against using an alkaline battery for that reason). I purchased this clock to replace an old analog clock from Westclox (which had died after 40 years of continuous use.... I give a five star rating to that old clock by Westclox for its longevity). I did see that more expensive models of clocks by La Crosse were offered. The more expensive clocks were similar in appearance but provided additional features (such as outdoor temperature and synchronization with the atomic clock in Fort Carson, Colorado). I was tempted to buy one of those clocks; but, a number of reviews complained that the more expensive clocks sometimes went through batteries far too quickly and that the synchronization sometimes didn't work, resulting in the clock being set to the wrong time. As much as the additional features of the more expensive clocks appealed to me, I decided that I needed a reliable wall clock for my kitchen. I chose this clock; because, it allows me to set the time manually. Since this clock will run for a long time on a fresh AA battery, that minimizes the maintenance, I felt that trading off features for reliability was worth it. It would have been nice if this clock had included an optional power cord for plugging the clock into a wall outlet (with the battery serving as a power backup) as well as illumination to make the display easier to read. However, it is still a very nice clock overall. UPDATE As of December 29, 2016, the clock is still operating normally on the same AA battery which had been installed new on January 1, 2014. The clock has now been functioning well for nearly three years on the same battery (which is not an alkaline battery). The time and temperature readings have both been accurate. Overall, I have been extremely pleased with this product and would recommend it to anyone who was looking for a reliable clock. UPDATE As of June 19, 2017, the original battery which had been installed on January 1, 2014 is now beginning to fail. The wall clock appeared to have been functioning normally on June 18, 2017; but, the display is now starting to become faint due to the weak battery (although the clock is still keeping accurate time). The clock was able to function normally for three years, five months, and eighteen days on the same battery. Overall, I am still quite pleased with the clock. It has performed extremely well for a long time on a single battery. I had originally considered purchasing the La Crosse clock with the built in atomic clock feature; but after reading the problems which other people have had with those clocks (the clocks displaying the incorrect time as well as the dramatically increased drain on the battery), I decided to purchase the clock without the atomic clock feature. My decision was the correct one. The clock kept time accurately and operated for a long time on a single battery (more than 50% longer than had been promised by the manufacturer). While the clock did not take changes between Standard Time and Daylight Savings Time into account, those occasions were the only two times during the year when I was required to manually reset the hour on the clock (which was not a problem at all, considering that I have to manually flip the page on the wall calendar once per month). The clock kept time accurately enough to where I never had to adjust the minutes. The clock's thermometer feature also performed well. Although I did not purchase the clock because of the thermometer feature, the feature still proved to be extremely useful. Furthermore, the small town in which I reside occasionally experienced power interruptions; but, my battery-powered wall clock was unaffected by these power interruptions. The clock has performed flawlessly. It is attractive in appearance. I would highly recommend this digital clock to anyone who was looking for a reliable wall clock.

So far, this has been a great wall clock.

This La Crosse clock worked fine and did exactly what it said. The time, date, and temperature were accurate, and setup was simple. It's lightweight and runs on batteries, which is convenient. However, I ended up returning it because the LCD screen was a bit hard to see in dim lighting. I preferred a brighter LED display for my bedroom, so I bought a different model instead. Still, it's a reliable and practical clock if you want something simple without any cables.

I recently added the La Crosse Technology WT-8002U Digital Wall Clock to my classroom, and it has been a fantastic addition. The large, easy-to-read display is perfect for ensuring all my students can see the time from anywhere in the room. The sleek silver and black design blends seamlessly with any decor, and its accuracy in keeping time is impressive. Setting it up was straightforward, and I appreciate the battery backup feature, ensuring it stays reliable even during power outages. Highly recommend this clock for any classroom or office setting!

Un buen artículo para mantener la maleta organizada

It’s a nice clock with a large display. The only thing I would wish would be that there was a back light of some sort so it can be seen in the dark. However, this would probably be impractical since the clock runs on batteries and this would drain the batteries in no time. Pros: -Fairly priced -Large display Con: -Can’t see in the dark (not back lit). But this would probably be impractical since the clock runs on batteries and this would drain the batteries in no time. - Like another reviewer mentioned, the viewing angles on the LCD is not the best. Other thoughts: Accuracy of thermometer? I can’t stick the clock in an ice bath to see if it reads exactly 0 C or 32 F, but I compared it to a meat thermometer I use for cooking and it was about +/- 2 deg F within each other which is close enough for me. If I find the time, I should re-check the calibration of the meat thermometer and then compare it to the clock. I will update this review of my findings. Maybe a barometer would be nice too? Besides the poor viewing angle and no back light, it still is a good deal for the price and its very practical.

I love it! (ps. it may say battery is low, but I wouldn't change the batteries until they die)

Long battery life and easy to use, one of the clock is broken and had to return it

The time display is large and crystal clear and visible from far and also in the dark. The date, data and temperature is of no importance to me and they are aptly in small sizes.

Good looking instead of the old round face. Battery means no cord to find a wall socket for. Nice and quiet as well, we could hear the ticking from the old clock in our camper.

Ótimo produto, funcionando normalmente, acertei a hora com a do celular e acompanha sem alteração, muito bom recomendo
