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.

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...

I'm very pleased with this clock - it's cheap, accurate, easy to use, and quite pretty. On the back of the clock is a QR code for the instructions for the model number on the right of the code - or google 'acctim manual 74664' if you want to read them before buying. After inserting the battery, the clock will automatically begin searching for the MSF radio signal. The second hand will typically move to the 12 o'clock position and remain there until the signal is received and the time is set. I placed my clock by a North-facing (or whatever direction the Cumbria tranmitter is to you) window and left it overnight. There is a manual SET button which when pressed will move the hands forward until you release at the correct time and it will then continue as a normal clock until it receives the next signal.

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.

Ne veut pas se mettre à l’heure d’été !

Die Uhr funktioniert einwandfrei. Sehr schönes Design!

Viene de Inglaterra con un retraso tremendo en la fecha de entrega. Viene sin instrucciones de funcionamiento, ni siquiera en inglés. El reloj es relativamente bonito por el marco azul que lo pedí. El tamaño de números y el tamaño de las manillas hace que la lectura sea lejana y clara. Las manillas quizás sean excesivamente largas por lo que tapan las rayas del minutaje horario. El principal problema es que llevo dos días esperando a que se ponga automáticamente en hora con el radiocontrol y todavía no lo he conseguido. Me comentan que el reloj, en caso de conseguir sincronizarlo, será con la hora de Inglaterra (una hora menos) por lo que no me va a servir para la hora de España. He tenido que poner la hora a mano por lo que el reloj pierde toda su operatividad de radiocontrol. Por cierto estos relojes de radiocontrol tienen un movimiento de segundero que hace tic tac, no es un desplazamiento continuo.

Ich hätte dem 1. Bewerter glauben sollen. Die Uhr ist äußerlich genau wie beschrieben. Aber was nützt sie uns wenn sie immer die falsche Zeit anzeigt. So etwas sollte von Amazon überprüft werden, bevor sie für den Deutschen Markt im Sortiment aufgenommen wird. Die Bedienungsanleitung ist auch nur in Englisch. Obwohl man eigentlich keine braucht: Batterie rein und sie läuft, aber eben mit einer falschen Einstellung

Gaaaaanz wichtig!! Die Funk-Uhr funktioniert einwandfrei ist aber nur geeignet für England und Irland da sie sich das Funk-Signal aus England holt. P.S. steht auch in der Berschreibung. P.S. Ich habe das Uhrwerk von hinten mit Alufolie verkleidet, somit kommt das Funksignal nicht mehr durch und siehe da sie funktioniert einwandfrei.
