I placed the WS-8249U atomic clock that I bought couple months ago next to this one, and they both showed different indoor temperature and humidity. This one displayed lower humidity ( 47% vs 51%) and higher indoor temperature (80.4 vs 78.9)than the WS-8249U. I have no idea which one is more accurate. The out door temperature was displayed the same because they both received the same signal from the transmitter of the WS-8249U. The WS-8256u is smaller than i thought it was. I prefer the WS-8249U to the WS-8256u because it has nicer and larger display.

We received this as a Christmas gift and have come to depend
on it daily for time and weather. It displays accurate time,
temperature and weather "tendency" using rising or falling
pressure. It does not display actual pressure numbers, only
indicating rising or falling pressure. Outside temp. and pressure info is transmitted wirelessly from a small unit mounted outside and has a range of about 200 feet. Quality of the unit is good and I would recommend to anyone wanting to have an accurate time standard to which all clocks and watches could be set.

While the clock works quite well and resets as it should, the wireless outdoor thermometer is way off. I base this on two other wireless brands I own,an Acu-rite and a Oregon Scientific, along with the local NOAA weather broadcast, also WFIE TV. The Acu-rite temp=18.2 F, the Oregon Scientific+18.5 F,
and the NOAA broadcast temp @ 20:09 Jan28/07 = 18F, Local TV station WFIE-TV=18F. [...]
As I write this, The Weather Channel also reports it is 18 degrees F at 20:30.
The La Crosse WS-8256U-AL reports it is 23.5 F, more than 5 degrees off. In my opinion,a clock/thermometer costing this much should be dead on.
Buy it for the time, NOT the temperature.
Nice, but... January 16, 2007

It works as it should, but it doesn't have a Celsius option. Otherwise, I'm satisfied with it...
Great Clock! June 13, 2007

This is an amazing clock. I love that it's atomic, so no need in adjusting the time. The weather forecast is great to know what the temperature is outside as well! I'm thinking of purchasing another one of my other rooms!
