Equity by La Crosse SkyScan 31269 LCD Atomic Alarm Clock

My clock does not look like the one pictured above. I looked for the model number on the SkyScan Web site, and could not find it - not even with a search of the site. Hmm...

The atomic function worked once for me when I first got it, but it doesn't seem want to update the time. That first time was not easy either. I had much trouble before it finally decided (on its own) to update. I have tried placing it in a west-facing window, but to no avail. I have tried taking the batteries out and starting from scratch, but still no updates since the first time I got it. Even pushing the "wave" button does not accomplish an update.

On the bright side, the clock seems to keep good time (maybe it updates occasionally, who could really know?). The projection function is what I wanted, and that is superb.

I have several SkyScans. Where I live, we lose power all-too-frequently. It works fine, has no problem getting the "sky signal" (we can't even use cell phones here) and I especially like the "ceiling time' (it projects the time onto the ceiling). The only thing I had to get used to is the alarm setting mechanism. The in-between setting does not set the alarm, you have to slide it all the way....and the alarm has an increasingly louder signal, so you can't be slow at turning it off (unless loud noises don't bother you in the AM.) Mine looks just like the picture. It always has the right time and I don't have to mess with it. What could be better?

The one I received does not look like the one in the photo. I did not realize it until I came back online and looked at my order. The one I received is larger and square but works the same--the projection is what I was looking for. Unfortunately, the atomic part does not work in southern California. I had to call customer service and get it figured out and manually set the time. Customer service was helpful and nice.
