Easy to Read in the Daytime and Highly Accurate
This wall clock is a great size and VERY easy to ready during the day. It is NOT backlit so reading at night is nigh impossible without an adequate light source being shined upon it. It is VERY accurate and synchs over the airwaves. It matches time.gov within 10ths of a second if not spot on right at the synch point. Highly recommended.

Nice upgrade to the previous one
I had another vendor's clock up on this small wall in the great room. I have clocks elsewhere, and an Amazon Echo show, the new larger one, so it's not that I can't look SOMEWHERE and see the time - but this was just at a spot that I've had a clock since we built the house, so it's always a reflex to look there first even when I'm looking at the TV with another digital clock in the entertainment center just under it... Muscle memory basically...The one I had was the other well known brand, and it worked fine for several years, but recently started getting totally whacked out, changing time, year, day, going from 12 to 24 hour, all with brand new batteries and the atomic signal sync turned off (since it's not a great signal here in Wisconsin). I finally decided to toss it and get something else.I needed something with a central hook point - not two hanging points. I didn't want to deal with changing things around on the wall, I had a nail there, wanted to keep using that single nail. And this works just fine with it.Setup is simple, easy to change 12/24 since I prefer 24 hour clock being a veteran. Easy to change F/C at will.Upon initial powerup, it looked like the screen was broken and the liquid crystal had spilled "inside" everywhere. Over the course of a minute or two, it started "neatening itself up."LOVE the big numbers. I don't wear glasses, but it's still nice having the larger numbers there. The numbers alone as as large as the entire screen was for the old clock, but I still get the date, temp, and humidity inside, they're just smaller on the edge, which is fine by me.So far it's been reliable and keeping good time. So for the price, this is probably the best one I've had of this type...

High Visibility, Works Great, Withstands Steamy Bathroom.
I now have two of these clocks. They set themselves and remain accurate at all times. Very easy to read across a room. One is in a bathroom where my daughters shower and steam up the space like crazy. This does not affect the clock negatively in any way.

Great but doesn’t auto set time
I use this every day in my office cube. I like that it has the time and temperature. It looks nice. The buttons are easy to use. The screen is not back light. It’s on a hook in a cube wall and does not fall off Only major issue is it doesn’t auto set the time like it states

Great, simple clock, with easy to read face.
I chose this clock because the time digits are very large, so I can read the time from down the hall. The overall size of this clock is not overbearing so it looks good on a shelf or in a small space like on a bookcase. The information in the display is useful including temperature, day, and date. I'm not the guy who needs the barometric pressure. You can adjust it to 24 hour clock if you need it. On the Con side, there is no light and the year is not displayed but the digits of the clock are so large that if you can see it you can read the time, and most people don't forget the year that often.I recommend this clock because it's basic, simple and easy to read. It is also atomic meaning it synchronizes/sets itself using radio signals. It's definitely worth the price.

Easy To Set Up
I have only had this clock for one day but it seems to be a good choice after looking at many of digital clocks on Amazon. It received the signal just a couple of minutes after installing the batteries. . Just a few clicks to set the time zone and it was fully operational.

A great little clock!
This clock auto adjusted the time in a few minutes, not up to the 24 hours required. Impressive! It's cute, easy to read and offers more information than time only. Being cordless and battery powered makes it look nice on the wall. Love it! Nice little item.

Great clock if you don't care about the lack of automatic daylight saving time adjustment.
This clock is easy to read if you have enough light. If you want to see the time in the dark (or even semi-dark), you need a lighted clock. Please note that this clock reports only indoor temperature. It does not show outdoor temperature or any kind of weather information. I like the narrow bezel and the large display.After several months of owning two of these clocks, I was surprised to discover that they do not automatically adjust for daylight saving time. I thought the DST switch on the back told the device whether to automatically adjust for DST or not. Nope. It only tells the device whether you are currently on DST or not. When DST ended, I had to push the DST switch to the off position and push the Wave button to get the correct time.We have had clocks that automatically adjust for DST for more than two decades. The fact that a brand new date-aware digital clock acquired in 2019 lacks this feature seems incomprehensible to me. This isn't rocket science. As long as I live where the government mandates the ridiculous semi-annual ritual of switching time, I don't want own any clock that fails to automatically adjust accordingly. Thus, I'm jettisoning these and will replace them with less stupid devices.

Only for US/Canada
I tried to educate myself on how these clocks work, but missed that this one would not work in India and it's not returnable so I've lost Rs.6700

Good Atomic Clock ... Includes batteries too!
This is a well designed, nice looking digital atomic clock, with a clear display. The clock came nicely packaged with a detailed instruction manual and all the necessary accessories including a set of AA Alkaline batteries. The clock took a while to sync, but did so around midnight EST when the signal from WWVB is strongest in Eastern North America.I like how this clock has several options including multiple timezones (more than most clocks), DST on/off, and also a manual time set should atomic syncing fail.For anyone having trouble syncing the clock, leave it alone overnight... during the day, the WWVB atomic clock signal is very weak Ontario and East. Just leave it alone or do a manual sync late at night and it should pick up the signal.I think I'm going to buy another Marathon atomic clock for another area of the house!

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY THE WHITE GLASS FRAMED CLOCK
I purchased 2 of these Marathon Atomic clocks. The White Glass model for the kitchen, and the Silver model for our study.Lets start with the silver model. The dimensions are 9 inches long and 5.5 inches wide with a 1/2 inch silver boarder and it's very light ( 418g with the 2 AA batteries ) . The silver colour Atomic Clock is very elegant and will blend in well with any decor or environment that it's placed in. The large digital numbers are very distinct and super clear and easy to read even from a 45 degree angle. Thats due to the fact that during the daytime the LED background behind the numbers has a slight greenish hue and the numbers and letters on the display are a crisp and a solid black colour.The "White glass frame clock " is far more elegant and nicer looking than what is displayed on the amazon.ca advertisement. It's 10.5 x 7 inches in over all size and the white milk glass boarder is wider at each end { 1.75 } as compared to the top and bottom that is { 1.5 } inches wide. It's twice as heavy as the Silver model at 838g with the 2 AA batteries.UNFORTUNATELY though the White Glass Frame clock also has a clear glass centre portion and that's the problem with this model. The clear glass that covers the display mirrors and reflects the slightest light or any light bulbs in the room and that causes a visual problem when your trying to view the time. You almost have to be standing DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE CLOCK to get a clear undistorted view of the time. My personal advise to all is, DO NOT BUY THIS WHITE GLASS FRAMED CLOCK.It's really a shame. Had Marathon simply glued the white glass border ' with no clear glass in the centre ( just the border ) to the silver model clock, they would have had an instant number one sensational product that would have sold in the millions. The Milk White Glass Framed model is that elegant and beautiful but has been rendered absolutely useless due to the the light reflection on the face of the clock. Hope your reading this Marathon and correct this issue.Both units are super easy to hang on a wall. There is a very large V depression in the plastic on the back of both clocks. Both models can also be used a stand clocks on any flat surface thanks to a plastic fold out plate that creates a secure base for the unit. The function buttons and display are the same on both models. To access C / F simply toggle between the two with a single push of the C/F button on the back.The instructions to set the clock are a little muddled and there was absolutely no need for this confusion. The following directions are by far simpler and easier instructions that will positively help you set and lock in the atomic time faster. The atomic time is transmitted via radio waves.Once you insert the batteries > press the " DST " button until your time Zone appears in tiny print at the very top of the bottom right hand corner box and believe it or not, that's all thats required.A blinking bar will automatically appear above the letter M in the bottom right hand corner box and will be flashing. Take the clock and walk around to different locations in your home and find a place that gives you 3 blinking bars. Once your in a location that gives you three blinking bars use the base stand and and leave it there. It takes about 2 minutes to lock in the signal waves. If the bar above the letter M does stops blinking, simply push the ' Wave ' button ONCE to start the clock searching once again. If you do make make a mistake just remove the batteries and start over.Once the atomic time and time zone are set the clock will stay set regardless of were you place it in your environment. Once you set the clock it phones home nightly at around midnight and makes any corrections to the time if any is required and automatically adjust the DST ( Daylight Saving Time ).These Marathon Atomic Clocks are very elegant and precise and by far the easiest atomic clock to set that I have ever owned. I recommend the Silver model Marathon Atomic Clock but I do not recommend the White Glass Frame model. The Five Stars given are for the Silver Model Only.
