Amazing Geeky and Cool!I received a well deserved "C" in Meteorology in College but when I got the Wireless Weather Station I was stunned at what I had missed and what this device can offer. Quite simply an outdoor sensor (a small iPod sized `thermo/hygro sensor') placed on an outside post or wall acts as the receptor of information from yes the NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology-Time and Frequency Division) radio station WWVB in Ft. Collins Colorado daily. Also using the local weather the sensor transmits tons of information to the very cool looking unit in your house. Here are some of the features you see:
*Controlled Time
*Moon Phase Display
*Indoor Temperature/Humidity Display
*Outdoor Temperature
*Date Display
*A cute Comfort Icon
*a Forecast Icon
*Air Pressure Trend Indicator
*Barometric Air Pressure
*24-hour Air Pressure History
*Humidity Display
*Remote Sensor Number
It can be read in 12 or 24 hour mode. There is a radio controlled alarm that also has a snooze (or off). Maybe you can just watch the news to get your information but this is more than a weather station for your neighborhood - it is a conversation piece. The only drawback I could find is that the LCD display is not very bright without indoor lighting. But that's a small complaint considering all the cool stuff you get just by glancing at the display on your wall (I put mine among all my wall photos). This would also make a really great gift for anyone - weather-wise or not.

Really cool item!This is one of the best purchases I have made of recent memory. It is one of those gadgets that every person can appreciate. The projection gives you the unique advantage of seeing the time from anywhere in the room. The indiglo is also really cool if the projection is off. This clock works off batteries (there is an ac adapter for the projector) so it is easy to take with you if you are traveling. I put the outdoor monitor in my window and I can constantly tell what the temperture and upcoming weather is. The best part is the clock is tuned into the atomic clock and is constantly setting itself for accuracy. This little guy is also pretty tough I have tripped over the cord for the AC adapter twice (I can't tell you how infuriating this is) knocking it hard to my hardwood floor. Its still kicking. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who appreciates a good gadget I have loved it since I bought it.

Quality Timex Thermometer/Hygrometer/ClockEasy to set up - needs one AAA battery. Compact unit yet has nice large digital display showing humidity outside temperature and either indoor temperature or clock (a button allows you to select which one will display). The unit seems very accurate and I consult the readings several times a day. I would definitely purchase this product again.
