Large Digital Wall Clocks
Large numbers and easy to read. The automatic time keeper works well so therefore is always on perfect time. The temperature readout (which is why I purchased it) works well and seems to be very accurate. I have owned a La Crosse weather station for about 4 years now and it works great so therefore I thought another smaller indoor unit for the baby’s room would be a good idea. The first one Amazon shipped to me didn’t work so I went online, filled out the quick form and within four days there was another one at my door. The second one worked fine. The first one was shipped out for free. I’ve never had to return an item to Amazon and I must say it was very easy and fast.
Positives
———
- huge and high contrast display, easily read from far across a room
- Receiver is more delicate ( getting atomic clock signal immediately and in the day, when my old one was only correcting at night ( Atomic clock RF signals travel better at night ) about 10′ from the nearest window ). BTW, if you want to get the right clock straight away and in the day, go near a window with clear view to the outside and press clock sync button on the back for manual sync.
- simple to follow instruction, and the web address for the instruction is revealed right next to the battery compartment ( handy, since we want to refer to instruction when we change the batteries )
- easy timezone setting ( one button to toggle 4 USA time areas ) — more on this on Neutral ( below ) also.
- light Savings Time reflects the right calendar period — some of the older products somehow does not understand the new daylight savings period of time in USA, but this one does.
- If you care about accuracy of the temperature display, mine was correct inside 0.5 oF, compared to my lab instrument — your clock’s accuracy may vary :- ).
Negative
———-
- Instruction is not clear for the first initialization. Could only decide on the timezone AFTER the clock searched for the Atomic clock signal… ( a few minutes ), but the instruction does not say that. I presumed I had a faulty unit at first. Better instruction needed.
Neutral
——–
- make sure that you plan to use this clock in continental USA ( ONLY the four time zones, Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific ). But then again, I do not believe you could receive the atomic clock signal if you’re outside of these areas in North America.
useful Hints
————–
- Fold up the instruction pamphlet and tape it close to the battery compartment on the back — you will be glad you did in about 18+ months.
- I regard myself as a massive fan of Atomic clocks — one in almost every room in my home — and found that the majority of the external temp sensor version wishes battery changes each six month or so, while the non-external temp version, like this one, wishes battery change every 1224 months ( all using alkaline batteries ). So I use rechargeable for the clocks with external temp sensor ( both the clock and the sensor ) now, and alkaline batteries otherwise. I am a big fan of these large, digital wall clocks and will be buying these for older relatives who can’t see as well as they used too!!!

How to Secure Your Larger Heavier Wall Clocks on the Wall
Wall clocks are an amazing and fascinating subject to explore. With the variety of shapes and sizes, you can always expect the unexpected just when you thought you saw it all. Today with all the forms of wall hanging timepieces, one has to be sure when it comes to larger and heaver clocks, that when you hang them on a wall, you are careful enough to hang the clock securely so that your artful display of time will remain safely on the wall.
In order to hang a heavier wall clock on the wall, you must do certain things to make sure your clock will remain in place without doing damage to your wall and possible damage to your clock. If you follow the procedures that I have set forth below, you will have a wall timepiece that will remain in place without any damaging effects whatsoever.
The first thing you have to do is make sure you find a secure section of your wall to fasten your clock. This is done by using a tool that is called a Stud Finder. Behind your plasterboard or drywall walls are support wooden frames called studs. These studs are made from long wood pieces of 2 inch by 4 inch boards. The vertical sections of these frames behind your walls are generally constructed about 18 inches apart along the inner wall.
In order to find exactly where these stud boards are located behind your wall, you will need to use an electronic device called a stud finder. You can find these stud finders at any hardware or home improvement store. With a stud finder you will be able to locate the stud inside your wall near the location you intend to hang your heavy wall clock.
Once you have found the stud behind the wall, make a pencil mark on the wall where you intend to hang your clock. When determining the correct location of inserting a large wood screw into the wall in order to hang your clock, be sure to take into account the position of the hanger located on the back side of the clock.
After you have determined the exact position to insert the screw into the wall, with a hand drill and a tiny drill bit, drill a tiny hole into the wall making sure you drill through the stud. Next, after you drilled your tiny hole into the wall, insert your large wood screw. Make sure you screw the screw in only far enough so the head of the screw sticks out from the wall enough to support the clock. A quarter to a half inch out from the wall should be enough to support the heavy clock. Hang your clock and enjoy.
On the other hand, there are some cases where the stud behind the wall is not located in a position where you intend to hang your timepiece. In this situation the solution to this is using what is called a screw anchor. These screw anchors are available in plastic and metal. There are styles of screw anchors available for a variety of wall hanging projects.
These screw anchors come in different shapes and sizes. Depending on how much weight your wall clock is will determine what style and size screw anchor will be necessary to hang your clock. The employees at your local hardware or home improvement store will have the knowledge to help you determine exactly what type of screw anchor is appropriate for your clock hanging situation. Just tell them exactly what you intend to do.
Once you have determined what type of screw anchor to use, drill an appropriate size hole into the wall. Always make sure you account for the position of the hanger on the back of the clock when positioning your clock hanging screw. After you have inserted the correct screw anchor into the wall, with a screw attached and sticking out from the wall one quarter to one half inch, gently hang your clock. Make sure that your clock is securely in place. Enjoy your clock.
If you are placing a heavy wall clock on a masonry or brick wall the same procedures apply. Determine exactly where on the wall you wish to drill a hole to hang your clock, but with masonry or brick walls use metal screw anchors only.
Hanging a heavy wall clock is not a difficult project when done correctly. There are certain procedures and tools to make the job easy to complete. All you have to know are a few easy steps.

Football Crazy Wall Clock
To make a Football Crazy Wall Clock you will need…
Paint, thick card or an old grocery box, a clock mechanism and clock hands (you will find these at craft shops) and a print out of pattern of football shirts which is available at the link below.
Colour the football shirts in the team’s strip you choose. You can colour them randomly if you wish. Number each shirt 1 to 12.
To make the clock face, draw around a large dinner plate or a tea tray onto some card. An old grocery box is great. Cut out two identical circles, and glue them together so that the lines in the cards structure cross, this will give the clock face extra strength.
Once the glue is dry, paint the clock face green. Again leave to dry. With white paint, paint on a centre line through the middle of the clock face, and paint a kick off circle in the middle of the clock.
Push a pencil through the centre of the clock face ready to attach the clock mechanism. Be very careful and use the old Plasticine trick – Put a ball of Plasticine on the table, put your card on top of it where you need the hole to be, and push the pencil through the card and into the Plasticine.
Arrange the football shirts on the clock face and stick them down.
Push the clock spindle through the hole and push on the hands. The mechanism has a hole for hanging the clock on the wall.
Put a battery in the clock and set the time.
