Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I have always wanted an atomic clock that sets the time itself & is always accurate, but they are normally so expensive. This was a great bargain.
When I got it, it initially wouldn't set itself althugh it was trying. I figured that's because I'm in Florida, 1,999 miles from the atomic clock. Although I could set the time & date manually, I wasn't happy. Then I read the instructions, which said that computers, TVs & other electronics can interfere with it. They suggested moving the clock away from those things, pointing its back to Colorado & giving it up to 72 hours to set itself. So I set it to the right time zone, but the wrong time to see if it would correct itself. After 18 hours I noticed it was searching again. I waited & suddenly it magically set itself to the correct time, month, day & year. Yay!!!
This clock has 2 alarms and it also shows seconds if you press the mode button to display them. It also has a backlight if you press the mode button. I love this clock.
