Mine synced to the WWVB atomic clock signal in minutes.
The big LCD time numerals can be read from almost any angle and I can see them from across my bathroom without wearing my glasses (nearsighted.) From Houston TX, I sat near a north-facing window when I inserted the included batteries and set the time zone switch to CST. The clock received the WWVB signal and set its time and date before I found the instruction to switch the display to the 24 hr format (maybe five minutes.) On mine, I've turned off the RCC receiver switch on the back (nice feature) to extend its battery life, hopefully. I can see using WWVB to update the clock's time whenever a battery change may be required. All the controls are on its back, so hanging it on a wall would prevent using the alarm function. The mirrored finish has a highly polished nickel tone, and sort of mimics (mirrors) its surroundings.

If you are buying a Battery-Operated clock, always buy one that is Radio Controlled
If you are buying a Battery-Operated clock, always buy one that is Radio Controlled. A Radio Controlled Clock is a type of clock which self-synchronizes its time using dedicated radio transmitters. This Marathon Designer Atomic Wall Clock keeps accurate time as promised - Yey! The only thing that needs improvement is the numerals. The numerals are not as black as they could be, making them difficult to see at a distance. Still, I love this Marathon Designer Atomic Wall Clock for the time and temperature.

Daylight Saving Time Feature Causes Problems
This Marathon Clock is a well designed, good looking time piece in a rectangular shape. The border is called "crystal" when in reality, it is a silver mirror. For those who prefer a date format with month first, this is not for you. The day of the month is displayed before the month. Humidity and temperature are accurate.This was set near a window to activate the radio controlled features. In the early evening, it displayed time correctly for my zone, with the Daylight Saving Time button turned ON. In the morning however, the clock showed a one hour gain. At this writing, September 17, 2023, there has been no DST change. I turned the DST button to off, and the time returned to AST as expected.Worth the money if you're willing to fiddle with settings.

It's okay, but has some issues
I have had an atomic clock for about 20 years that is always, always correct. This one, however, is not. Sometimes it just forgets the date and time. And when you change from daylight savings time and back, it has a problem with that too. You have to do the manual reset and put it near a window for a while to get it to correct itself. That is now how an atomic clock is supposed to work. They are supposed to be correct all the time without any fuss. So, if you don't mind having to reset it now and then, it's okay. I can read it from across the room when it is bright, or darkish. I have not tried complete darkness. The frame part is shiny and pretty.

Looks Good and Works Great
I bought this to replace an older atomic clock in my living room. (The previous one was almost 30 seconds off and would not straighten out its time. It was from a different manufacturer.) The first thing I like is its clean, silvery apprearance. Good looking device! It came up with only the need to change the time zone switch on the back. It is perfectly synchronized with my cell phone, so looks like it works like a champ.

Bought for bathroom
I searched Amazon for "bathroom clock" specifically because of the humidity when showering. This clock was one suggested to meet that criteria. Nothing in the clock documentation I received addresses that concern so it'll be interesting to see how the clock holds up during that high humidity.It's great looking and easy to set up. The atomic clock feature synced without a problem (I'm in Toledo, Ohio).

A clock that does not keep time
Nice build quality But display is faded grayish instead of clear dark black. One day I woke up to see time was completely off and everything was off ( including year etc) ...I left it alone and next day it had reset itself to atomic time but did not understand why it reset itself that particular time.Considering I've had this clock for about 2 months now, hopefully that time going wonky was a one off thing.UPDATE: Time gone astray happened several times now. You look at the clock, its ok..you look at it another time, time is totally off, another day date even. Really low quality as in my 52 years on this earth, i have not ever seen any watch or clock as unreliable as this. I had bought a Lacrosse on same day as this for my son's room, that is working just fine.Avoid this one like the plague. Am supposed to be under warranty, i am going to contact marathon, lets see if they believe in customer care and will own up to this low quality product and take ownership.
