I looked at over a dozen clock/weather stations, for over 2 months. Some looked good, but each seemed to be lacking in one or two areas. So I held off on my purchase. When I happened upon this La Crosse, I bought it the next day. It had the features I wanted: atomic time; in/outdoor temp & humidity; barometric pressure; Date (displayed as "10/21", not "10.21"); day of week; and back lighting (although listed as "LED", it has a nice even amount of lighting, seems as good as an "EL" back lighting); AND all of these items are always being displayed(no extra buttons to push to see the day of week..). It also has some of what I call "nice to haves": time of sunrise/sunset; and phase of the moon (not important to me). Although watching the sunset get about 3 minutes earlier each of these October nights, is sad. The item was much simpler to set up than some older versions from La Crosse, and it found the atomic signal w/i an hour (even in the afternoon). The only nuisance with the set up was selecting my city (for the sunrise/sunset times). Maybe I didn't follow the directions, but I had to cycle through a long list before I got to mine. The cities were organized first by state, then by city w/i state. A pain, but I eventually got to New Jersey, and then my closest city. Given the amount of information that is being displayed on a 5x5" screen, the layout is reasonable, but I think it could be improved by making the displayed time larger, and a layout to let you more quickly realize whether you're looking at a temperature or a humidity reading(maybe changing their relative sizes or positions would help). Points of Note: - The manual says the batteries for the inside unit (3 of them) will last "over 12 months". That may be a clue that this clock may consume batteries. - The "manual", all 4 sides of two 7x11" pages, is brief, and opens on the left side (instead of the right side, as a book). Not a problem, but reminds you that this was probably not "made in America". - The display is very dark with good contrast against the background, if you are looking slightly down at it. If you are looking straight on, some of the display will be slightly faded. If you are slightly below horizontal, there is increased fading, and characters look a little fuzzy. Yet it is still easily readable a foot away. At 6' away, you may not be able to read it at that angle. Hence, this would not be a good "wall clock". - On initial setup, the temperature reading read about 5-7 degrees higher than my other thermometers. This seemed to take over an hour or two, to come back to w/i a degree of the others. (which seems longer than I would expect for it to temperature-equilibrate) - The snooze/backlight button is the only button on the outer edges (so you can easily pick it up w/o accidentally changing a setting). The other buttons (6) are recessed, on the back. I took off a star because of 1)the image of the fisherman. As another commented, the interpretation of "his" clothing is not easily visually-grasped (e.g.; short sleeves vs. sleeveless). There is a smallish cloud/ sun/ rain picture that is much more readable/useful for seeing the weather prediction than the fisherman's attire. 2) The picture of the fisherman takes up space that could have been better used to increase the size of some of the items, and improve the overall layout. So far, I would definitely buy it again. The only reason to not buy this would be if you didn't want all the extra items on the display, and prefer a simpler, less cluttered display. 11/3/13 Update The "daylight savings" to normal time change happened last night, but the clock did NOT update itself. I checked the time zone setting, it was correctly set to EST (I live in NJ), "day light savings" mode was on, and initiated a WWVB search (for the time). The time would not adjust (but did for an older LaCrosse clock). If I changed the time zone to CST (which has an eastern edge of Indiana or Illinois) the clock displayed the correct time. Hence, it appears to be software problem in the unit, and likely a problem for all of the units. 11/4/13 Update Today, the unit shows the correct time. It now appears that the problem was not "firmware", but that the system lost contact with the time signal, so the clock might have never saw that the time was changed. I don't know why the signal is being lost; it used to always show the signal tower icon, now it is not.
