 It's the batterySep 06, 2010
I read the reviews before purchasing this and was a bit hesitant. It seemed to work great for some people but for others there were constant problems. Mine worked fine for 2 weeks then started losing the time every day. I tried everything but could not get it to hold the time. When I went to LaCrosse's tech support website, I read that almost all returned clocks they received were due to battery issues. I didn't really believe that because I had used a brand new, name brand alkaline battery and still had problems. But I tried one of the new high capacity lithium batteries this time and the clock has worked fine ever since (about 6 months). It seems to be one of those electronic devices that simply will not work with anything but a fresh, fully charged battery. Even a slightly drained battery seems to make this clock non-functional. So for those who have this clock and can't get it to work properly, I suggest trying a lithium battery. I think that will solve your problem.

Doesn't ever connect to the time check. Spins around. Batteries die. Second hand sits still. Do not like it one bit.
Some Problems; mostly ok clockJun 10, 2010
I bought two of these to replace some wall clocks that were always either showing the wrong time or out of battery. I like the simple design. I have a digital LaCross alarm clock that works perfectly. One of the two new ones has problems. The second hand stops completely. I have restarted it twice (taken the battery out and let it resync), and it works for a day or two and then the second hand stops. Not really worth sending back, but the reliability seems quite low.
Update. I took the glass off the clock and found the second hand bent too far upward. Bent it back down and it works fine. Now they both are going well and the battery (one) seems to last. We have a more complicated digital display La Crosse one (with date, temp, outside temp, moon, etc.), which uses two AA bateries that last only about 30 days.
Works well but slow on the Daylight savings time changesMay 06, 2010
I bought this clock from Amazon August, 2005 and it's been great most of the time. I needed a clock with a sweep second hand and an easy to read face and this met my needs.
The only problem I've had is with the daylight savings time updates and with this last change I waited a week and it did not update. I put in a new battery and it went to 12:00 and stayed, during the next few days it went to 4:00 and stayed then to 8:00 and stayed? I nearly tossed it thinking I'd had my five years of use but it finally went to the correct time and has been perfect since. Still, for the cost I would buy another one just don't toss it out too quickly!
 Worked fine for two yearsMar 02, 2010
I bought this clock for my daughter's room, and it worked fine until one day, it didn't. The hands started spinning endlessly until the battery wore down. I thought maybe it was a signal issue (though we hadn't moved the clock) so we tried relocating it. Nothing helped. We have another model of the same brand that's fine. Judging from the other reviews, I'd say don't buy this model. It's inexpensive, but unreliable. I have regular battery-operated clocks that have been in service and keeping time for 10-15 years... I bought these thinking it would spare me the hassle of resetting clocks twice a year. It didn't adjust automatically, so I had to take it down anyway to push the little button on the back. Lame. I'm sticking with manually-adjusted clocks, they seem to be more reliable and not really any more of a hassle.
