Good value but LCD display has drawbacks
My review will focus mostly on the LCD display. I purchased this unit so I could have the outdoor temp and barometric pressure display as my older, color model did not have this feature.Unlike the other displays, this unit uses a backlit LCD display which is generally fine but it requires the unit to be positioned perfectly toward the user at an angle. That angle is not easy to find. Also, once the user moves around then the display has a finite working window -- meaning that the display will disappear once you pass that window.If the unit is plugged in then the backlight is nice and bright but it will also light up a dark room. This may be too much light if placed in a bedroom. There are different light levels but of course that will make it harder to read.If the display light is turned off then the unit can actually be read with some kind of front lighting, such as a TV. This is one advantage to the plain LCD display. Sadly though, the same rule applies and once the user moves out of that working window then the LCD segments start to disappear.I think the ideal place for this kind of LCD unit would be a wall-mount. This could be perfect for a large room that's well lit -- which may mean that the unit wouldn't even need the backlight. Ample, natural lighting would keep the LCD lit.This model works as designed and with the new 3rd generation sensor is quite accurate. One minor note is that the placement of the top buttons are a bit awkward. They don't feel natural and are hard to press. I think this has to do with the required angle depending on where it's placed.All in all, a good unit but be aware of the limitations of the LCD. The color units are almost 2x the price but worth the extra cost.

Beautiful and with great functions but a little small
I needed a watch that self-adjusts and is visible from everywhere in the room. First, I bought one from Walmart. It's ugly. So I saw this one on Amazon, and decided to buy it and return the ugly one.Unfortunately, this one has pale digits and has poor visibility even from close. It's angle of vision is very limited. Digits are well seen only if you face it directly and your eyesight is on the same level. A small deviation makes the digits unreadable. And I started growing some affection for the big, ugly one.The backup light does not help much because it only works for 10 secs on batteries. You need to press a button that is on the back side - maybe I'll remember its location.When you plug the cable, you need to hide it. If the clock is hanging on the wall, the cable pulls it in one direction and there's no way to hide it.Functionally, everything is excellent. It connected to the Atomic clock station and I will not need to adjust daylight saving time anymore. The information it shows is useful, the weather forecast is convenient.All in all, this is a nice thing to have on your desk, but not far from you.Now I have two clocks in the room and I don't know which one to keep :)
