A plated and polished gold bezel holds the convex glass lens and protects the cream dial that accents the case, bold clear numbers enhance the visibility for reading the time. The convex glass allows for extra safety in school and commercial settings. The quartz movement receives the Atomic Time signal every other hour from Colorado to keep the most accurate time available. No need to adjust for daylight savings time. Clock uses (1) AA battery, not included.

It sticks out more from the wall than is indicated in the 3D view, so I’m docking a star for that. Otherwise no issues - works fine.Also, it’s very quiet but it DOES tick.

I am very happy with this clock. The style is appealing, the numbers are easy to read. It was easy to set up and I’m thankful it is atomic. I would highly recommend this clock.

Clock looks great and works perfectly. Picked up the WWVB signal here in western NC within 10 minutes and the time has been perfect down to the second. Very pleased with purchase!

Good clock, very accurate. We in Australia unable to set according to Colorado timing, as clock unable to read. Used manual setting instead. Otherwise all good.

I like quality products. This clock is very much what I was looking for. The clock time sets itself and maintains accurate up to the second. Elegant to keep it in the living room, worth the money. I recommend it.

As you can tell from the picture it is very easy to read. Not the clearest thing to see in a dark room however. I personally like the classical appearance. Some attention to the time zone setting is required but very easy to do. The rest is automatic as far as I can tell. It just needs to adjust itself in about seven minutes. So far it has kept time to the second.

I had my eye on this "atomic" clock for a couple of years, mostly in the spring and fall when I had to climb a tall stool to get to my almost identical kitchen clock to change into or out of Daylight Saving Time. The description says the radio frequencies carrying the atomic time signal comes from Ft. Collins, Colorado, and some users have said they had some trouble finding a location in their home that worked for their clocks.I love the wooden frame and the easy-to-read numbers. But would it work in my kitchen?My house has steel siding (although a lot of windows) and Ft. Collins is about 700 miles away. But I took a chance, hanging it on an interior wall, and the clock keeps time beautifully. It changed back to standard time when DST came to an end last Nov. 3.I'll still have to climb that stool when the AA battery dies. It's too soon to know if I'll have to change the battery twice a year! (I will try to update to let you know how long it worked using the same battery.)

This clock does not come close to keeping the right time. It's been hanging on my office wall for five days and has never displayed the correct time. No instruction booklet came with it and there are no instructions printed on the box it came in. I can only guess as to how to get it to work properly. It has a new battery in it and it is running, but the time is currently one hour and thirty-four minutes off. At other times, it has been as much as four or five hours off the correct time. The DST button is in the "on" position and it is set for Eastern time (I live in Virginia, USA). It is an "Atomic" clock, which means it should receive a correct time signal from somewhere in Colorado every two hours. It has had plenty of time to get right. One would expect much more from a clock that has the name "Bulova" on it, but it's a huge disappointment. It's a beautiful clock, but I need accuracy more than beauty. I'm sending it back to Amazon!

Very pleased with the Bulova Atomic Clock for looks, accuracy, and ease of use. I followed the included setup directions (selected EST time zone and Daylight savings set to off) and inserted a AA battery. The hands began to sweep around and I watched it as it went through a 12 hour sweep and then began to synchronize with the 60Hz time standard it was receiving. After a couple of minutes, the hands swept around and locked in to the current time. I noted with the first synchronization that the minute hand was off by one minute but it re-synchronized 2 hours later and this was corrected. It has been running with perfect time right down to the second hand when compared to my phone's time display. Note that the frame of the clock is nicely finished wood and quite sturdy compared to a lot of the plastic clocks that are out there. As others have noted the glass is reflective but in our kitchen it is not a problem and the clock is very easy to read from anywhere in our kitchen or dining room. I suspect that reflection problems are dependent on the angle of light from any overhead lighting in the room where you install the clock. Highly recommended for accuracy, ease of use and good looks!
