Acctim 74662 Nardo 20cm Radio Controlled White Wall Clock

Very good value and works well. No instructions provided; this could be a problem if you are not familiar with radio controlled clocks and do not know that they have a mind of their own! The basic method is to fit the battery, put it near a north facing window, watch it do it's thing and leave it alone overnight: in the morning it will have picked up the radio signal and set itself (usually). Sometimes complications do arise, so instructions should really be included. Otherwise a good clear and accurate clock that will set itself when the clocks go forward and back. Use a good AA battery and it shold easily run for more than one year without any attention, but keep it a few feet from any electronic devices that might generate radio interference. A good buy.

Good time piece, radio controlled.Looks good on the wall .Recommend

This clock would have earned 5 stars but for the fact that there wasn't a single word with it on how to set it up. When I tried it set itself to 12.00 and then simply stopped. So, I took the battery out and tried again, same result. In fact, the same result on 5 attempts. It was then that I decided that it didn't work and so I requested and was granted a return. Then I decided to find another suitable clock to purchase and looked through almost the whole list, avoiding all Acctim products, of which there are a great many. I just happened to be looking at the listing for a run of the mill clock when I noticed the advice it gave; "Once the clock has set to 12.00 leave it for a few minutes whilst it establishes connection with the atomic clock. BINGO. I tried this on the Acctim and after a wait of a couple of minutes it showed me the correct time. As it was not an ugly clock I decided to cancel my return and keep the clock. It is now operating perfectly in my bedroom and I am perfectly happy with it. If only Acctim had bothered to give some setup advice they would have received 5 Stars.

I bought two of these clocks to replace similar, older Acctim radio-controlled clocks. The previous clocks each performed faultlessly for over ten years so I didn’t really need to replace them. However, the newer ones have bolder hours markers and numbers as well as thicker hands. That makes them easier to read, even though they’re slightly smaller than the previous ones. That’s an important consideration for a glasses wearer like me. I can now instantly tell the time from a few metres away, even without my glasses. All you need do is instal a battery and forget about it, if they’re anything like anything like the previous clocks. They synchronise to the atomic clock time signal within minutes and automatically adjust for winter and summer time. Just replace the battery every couple of years as necessary. They really are that straightforward to use. It beats me how anyone can pack so much technology into such an inexpensive product.

Love this clock. It has a really good clear face.

Works really well. Synchronised the time very quickly. Looks very smart. Great value from a well known brand

Very disappointing! This clock regularly, perhaps a dozen times in the last year, will adjust itself and be 2 or 3 hours out (minutes correct). Quite bizarre. I will not buy another...

Couldn’t get it to set the time but my son went on the internet and found how to set it manually. When the clocks went forward it changed so all is well.
