If this has already been mentioned, please disregard.

Picked up a very large display (2.5") LCD clock which displays time in UTC, local time, or selectable time zones. My model is # 87310, about the size of a computer lap top and quite thin. Selectable 12 hour or 24 hour display.

It is updated by WWVB in the U.S. for accuracy automatically between the hours of 12AM and 6AM.

Operating instructions can be found in "Manuals" clicking "Read more..."  BENEATH that model.

Overview of it all.....
The US Atomic Clock is the most accurate clock in the world and the official national timepiece. This clock is operated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Fort Collins, Colorado. Using a low frequency radio transmission from NIST, the US Atomic Clock sends an accurate time signal across the continental United States. The SkyScan® Atomic Clock automatically sets itself to the correct time and date by receiving and decoding the NIST radio signal with an internal receiver. It ensures daily accuracy to the fraction of a second by refreshing the signal each day.

Providing WWVB radio-controlled time, date, time zone, indoor and outdoor temperature display, this innovative clock is ideal for home or (METEOR?) use. Operation of this product is simple and straightforward. 

Your clock will set itself automatically. All you need to do is place the clock in a window facing Colorado and allow 24 hours for it to catch the signal. If you live in a time zone other than Eastern Standard Time, you will need to follow the instructions in the manual to set the time zone. If you are still having problems, please check our FAQ page.
