How accurate is this clock over several months? Does it lose or gain minutes? Please answer only if you know.

Since my mother passed I've had the clock next to my chair for several months (3) and it seems to keep very accurate time.

It dose not display the time all the time. You must press a small button on the top. It displays time for a few seconds, then shuts off.

I have not noticed this to be an issue with mine. I've had it for about two months and it has kept time just fine.

Mine didn't lose time at all. I use it for my outdoor Christmas lights. I plugged it in, set the time and plugged my lights in and it turned the lights on at the correct time and off at the correct time, for 6 weeks...

It really does tell the time, it works like a charm :) just be careful cause when I bought mine there was a problem with the lighter part, the clock itself works fine

Are you keeping the clock locked at that OC? Or will it step-up/down as needed?

My answer is to keep trying. I bought the clock for my mother. She loved it and so did I. But setting it was a challenge. We have owned 3 as she did drop it a number of times. Good luck.

Send it back. We couldn't get ours to keep the correct time and the company kept telling me that it would adjust itself. It never did.

Yep, mine loses time, too. So, I contacted the company and they sent me a new circuit board and control panel. However, the installation seemed so involved that I haven't done it yet. I'm thinking about putting a nice magnet over it. Because, you know, aside from the clock issue, it seems to be a great range hood!

To my knowledge, this clock only counts down, not up. I bought it for my son to play chess tournaments and it works very well.

I do not have it at the location I am working from this week but I am pretty sure mine turns to a couple of milimeters no more than 5 milimerters from 60. I've never actually checked to see if the time is 60 minutes or not. We use it to stay on track in 45 minute sessions.

I don't know, I just kept pushing the button to change the time and it eventually did it itself. :) Love this clock.

My Melnor also loses a bit of time, but only about 10 minutes a month. So I just reset it. Otherwise, it has performed flawlessly. I initially had problems when I installed cheap batteries. When I changed to a higher quality and more expensive battery, they now last much longer and lose less time as well.Mike

I also have not been able to get my clock to the correct time zone...it has the right time, but mountain time....I unplugged it various times, and it does correct the 12:00 time eventually, and push the button that says EST, but it doesn't take it...I really got it for the size and sound of the radio, so I have given up on getting the getting the correct time. I even looked up others who explained how to get the time going on amazon, but didn't work for me.

Nope. It's a cool little clock. But for some reason after having it for a month it dropped one of the minute numbers tabs. It still works it just looks strange for 2 minutes every hour.

The time displays all the time when the clock is plugged in (either by USB or power adaptor). I don't think it can be set to keep the display on indefinitely if you are using just batteries. But since there seem to be two different versions of this clock being sent out, it's possible the model I didn't get has a way to do so.

Mine is easy to set to20 min. Press the arrow up button above the time. Mine is set for 5 min all the time.
