The Bottom Line

Gives the temperature indoors and at up to three other spots inside or outside your house, plus a clock that resets itself from the US Atomic Clock - what more could a weather wonk want? Great gift. My dad said it was the best gift I ever gave him!

Guide Review - Oregon Scientific Weather Forecaster with ExactSet Clock

This is a great gizmo. You can set up the wireless temperature sensors wherever you wish - indoors or outdoors, and view the temperature from your Weather Forecaster. Having a clock that is coordinated continuously with the US Atomic Clock means you never can say you don't have the exact time. The weather forecasting ability is the only weak link. Oddly enough, it being from Oregon Scientific, it often got it wrong here in Oregon. But ignoring that, the rest of the set-up is fantastic for those of us who want to know the temperature and time.
