have a `` always accurate '' clock be a great feature in my house . it be easy to read and have all the necessary information show in the display . I especially like the battery\/solar charge feature , no wire to place or power supply to use electricity 24 hour a day . the curve shape be tricky to pick up as it tend to slip more than square edge would . I wonder if the clock will stand up to be in direct sunlight -lrb- use to recharge the battery -rrb- for several year . usually this kind of item say on the instruction not to place the item in direct sunlight , which be not in the instruction for this clock .
