308-1417 Wireless Barometric Pressure Weather Station with WWVB Time, 330ft | Advanced Forecast

La Cross 308-1417 We've had a battery powered LCD indoor/outdoor weather station for nearly 20 years. Wanting an upgraded station, we moved the original to the back room. To stay with battery power, the La Cross 308-1417 was perfect a perfect fit. It displays, very clearly, barometric pressure, indoor/outdoor temperature, relative humidity and forecast icons. Setup was simple and quick. Acquisition of outdoor sensor and atomic clock signals took 5 minutes. It is very easy to read all the information from 10 feet away. With simple styling, it looks good on the coffee table. While we haven't had this long enough to evaluate battery life, something to remember (for those who complain about that): Keep the outdoor sensor close by without electronic equipment or metal components between the two. Keep away from a router or other electronic emitting devices. These overwork the transmitter/reciever. Hunting for the sensor and time signals drain the batteries very quickly. Our original station batteries would last for 5 years in the same location. No reason to think this will be less. If you want outlet power (with adapter and cord), a color display or wind and rain gauge, you will pay five to ten times more. But for $35, this is a very practical tradeoff. We've had this for just over 5 years and it still functions. But, it no longer updates for daylight savings time (it's very accurate otherwise). And, the outdoor sensor has started going a little crazy, reporting 10 - 20⁰ high in the daytime (not in the direct sun) but is very accurate at night.

The 5 stars are for the clock itself. My rating for the sadist who glued the screws in that held it in the packaging wouldn't get any stars, except the ones he/she would see after I kicked the stuffing out of him/her. BUT, back to the clock ... + It is a good size for reading. + I view it at an angle, but the data is still fuly readable. + It takes three AA batteries instead of AAA, so they will last longer. + I love that it indicates the humidity inside as well as ouside. + it was easy to initially set up. I am in a location that radio signals barely reach, so I cannot depend on the atomic clock to set it. - I hope that the way the packaging screws were embedded into this one was an anomaly, and that yours unscrews easily. It took me 55 minutes to get it them out, and I have just about every hand tool made. I finally ended up nibbling away the bizarre plastic washer so that I could grip the screw head with a pair of wire cutters and break the bond to the plastic housing. Had I been able to get teh multiple layers of cardboard out from under them, I would have just left them in. I was NOT happy, but now that I am using the clock, I have calmed down.

I really like this now that I’ve got it figured out. The time, temp, and humidity are accurate. It is small but very bold and legible. It is not backlit so you cannot see it in the dark. Now the problem is the barometer which is completely ill designed, though accurate. You must read it from right to left. The pressure is displayed in intervals. The furthest right position is 0 hours - the current time and measurement. You are able to tell if the pressure is increasing or decreasing by reading the curve as a whole with each bar representing the past starting at the right. There is no other plus or minus indication. Poorly conceived and difficult to understand. But accurate.

The numbers are large and easy to read.

Lots and lots of data present. I have a good connection to the wireless remote so I get very accurate readings. Confirmed with my iPhone and temps are within 1-2 degrees. I don't need the pressure reading, sometimes it is annoying, updating every 10 secs. The cloud and sun pictures are not always accurate because I want time and temp readings. I can look out a window to see if it is raining or snowing or dark. I have it wall mounted and cannot see the buttons on top of the frame to check some features. It would be nice to have a backlight button to illuminate in a dark room. I bought this to replace an Oregon Scientific station that was 25 yrs old and starting to age quickly. I think this one should outlast me. Easy to set up.

I purchased and returned a previous weather station due to inaccuracy. This product however, has been very accurate for both inside and outside. It is very close to the readings on my house HVAC system.

I am totally pleased with my purchase of this weather station, it works great and the atomic clock is great for time keeping.

Easy setup, easy to read.

Hace exactamente lo que dice.

Works great and is easy to read. I especially like knowing indoor and outdoor humidity. The clock shows the day of the week, which, for a retired guy, is good info.

Does the job fine, thanks!

I owned a La Crosse for 15+ Years until it failed this summer. Very disappointed with the quality and functionality of the replacement- not a patch on my old La Crosse. They appear to be cutting corners properly to save on costs.

Funciona bien para mostrar las condiciones actuales de temperatura y humedad pero no muestra el barómetro ni el pronóstico, que es justo lo más importante
