Upon following the instructions on how to set the clock, the clock would reset itself but always stopped at 12:00 and would not set time correctly. After several times of doing this, hubby finally manually set the clock himself. Because we like the clock, we have decided to keep it. Perfect place for it in the bathroom! It is keeping perfect time and it does not make any noise as others have said theirs does. We are rating this as a 4 star because it would not set the time on its own when instructions were followed.
