The hands on the clock are cheap plastic and are very flimsy. When it received the VLF time signal (it takes several hours), I discovered that the second hand jams with the minute hand. At first I thought the movement was faulty but it's just the cheap plastic hands. The second hand does not bend so it's permanently in this weird state. I took a fingernail clipper and removed the second hand permanently.Also, I can't say whether this clock is aware of the new Daylight Savings Time rules but the current close-out price may be a clue.This clock model is too cheap--I don't recommend it at all.***EDIT*** This clock is NOT aware of the new Daylight Savings Time rules. I have tried every possible solution without success. Get another clock. If you have this clock, try to get La Crosse to replace it with one that properly handles DST changes.
