Amazon.com Product Description
The Honeywell TE653ELW Complete Weather Forecaster with Atomic Clock combines a stylish appearance with invaluable weather and time information. Featuring a 24-hour barometric pressure history chart and large graphical weather forecasting icons (sunny, cloudy, rainy, etc.), this clock and weather forecaster can monitor temperature and humidity in up to three remote locations. With the main display unit measuring 7.24 x 4.96 x 1.31 inches (WxHxD), the clock includes one TS33C wireless temperature sensor and can utilize up to a total of three remote sensors for remote monitoring. (Additional sensors are sold separately.) The sensors have an effective unobstructed transmission range of approximately 100 feet. The TE653ELW also includes an atomic clock that never requires resetting. The time updates automatically each day within the continental U.S. via a radio signal transmitted from Fort Collins, Colorado, adjusting the clock to within one second of official government time. It even automatically adjusts for Daylight Savings Time. Other features include a moon phase display; a programmable ice warning alarm for Channel 1; and comfort level indicators and minimum/maximum memory for temperature and humidity. When the remote sensor is powered by two AA alkaline batteries, the unit has an outside temperature range of minus 4 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit, and minus 38 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit if lithium batteries are used. For humidity monitoring, the clock has an indoor and outdoor range of 25 to 90 percent. (The two AA batteries required for the sensor, and the two AA batteries required for the main unit, are not included.)

 Nice piece of Tech ... like cowbell, needs more backlight ... October 27, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
I've purchased five of these little clocks to sit in various places around my house. I bought the first one and quickly realized that it was easily the best clock I've ever owned. My wife has her own on her side of the bed and I now have the freedom of hearing:
"Could you please set the alarm to 6:15am?"
Now she just does it herself.
Maybe any clock could've achieved this, but we're both tech geeks, her more than me, and she was gripping on to her old clock for dear life. This is the kind of clock you can take into the lavatory for the purposes of reading in case boredom strikes, too. No more backs of shampoo bottles! Thank you, lord!
The set-up was incredibly easy and took no more than five minutes for each one. Whatever flaw they were having before, seems to have been fixed because I think it would be hard to get stumped on something like this ... but I did say that I was a geek, so take my observation on that point as a grain of salt. There is an option to just let the thing alone for a few minutes for those that don't want to program it and it will do it all by itself the next time it updates, which is like every five minutes.
They're deadly accurate and easily programmed and nice on the eye. I do wish that I could've set the backlight to stay on for 15to 30 secs, but that's my only complaint. Some cowbell wouldn't hurt it either. Why not? It's got everything else.

The picture shown here makes it look bigger than it really is. The entire unit measures only about 7 inches wide by 5 inches tall. The LCD display is even smaller, only about 4" by 3". That is really small to display all the information you get from it. Yes, it's just a clock and people think you don't have to read a manual to use it. Well, it's not just a clock. This is some high tech stuff. Atomic clock, altimeter, barometer, weather forecaster, thermometer, moon phase display, etc. With a bigger LCD display, this would get a 5 star rating from me. For now it's just a 3 because of the small display. But everything does work as advertised.
 Good product, instructions a bit weak January 26, 2008

I agree with the previous customers who stated that the product is a bit hard to set up.
I followed the "Quick Start Guide" and I ran into a couple issues...
First off, I had to get my altitude from my GPS unit, but I am sure there is some info off the internet that should get you close.
Secondly the dang Time Zone issue. I tried and tried and tried, and finally after several attempts I got it. The key to changing your time zone is make sure the Day is displayed next the time SA for example. Then holding the ^ UP button allows you to change your time zone. Intially I had the seconds next to the time and it would not allow me to change the time zone.
Hope this helps someone out there and saves them the 30 minutes of my life I wont get back ;)

A happy husband makes for a happy spouse! My husband loves this Christmas gift. THANKS!!
Reliable, but awful documentation and UI November 3, 2007

The bad part first: the user interface is bad enough that you MUST use the manual to set it up - - and the manual is poorly-written and organized.
The good: It's cheap, and all the functions I use work perfectly. The display is clear and well-organized. The data seems pretty accurate, and the forecasting function is right more often than not.
I've had (and returned) several inexpensive weather stations now, and while all their user interfaces have been horrible, this Honeywell is the first one I've had which actually worked as promised.
