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

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 have enjoyed LaCrosse products for years, and this advanced wireless weather station is no exception. It works well, easy to set up, and the display is crisp. However, the description of “what’s in the box“ is inaccurate. It states that a power adapter is included. There is no power adapter, and this device runs on batteries only. This should be corrected..

So far I am rating this a 4. It seems to be working as expected. This is not a high end unit and is only battery operated. It is used as a secondary unit from my main weather station which is on the East side of the house. This one is shaded during the morning sun so it gives an accurate temp for the West side. The one thing that should be included on this unit is the snooze/backlight tap bar. When going through the house in less than perfect lighting it's nice to be able to turn on the backlight for a few seconds. I had an Oregon unit that was only battery op for years and that had backlight.

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 numbers are large and easy to read.

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.

Bought as a gift, they like it

Bought in Feb 2023. A few days ago it stopped working. Changed batteries, cleaned terminals, and let it sit overnight. Still did not work. Shows completely blank screen. Three years life is rather short.

Hace exactamente lo que dice.

Does the job fine, thanks!

The best feature of this station is it works on rechargeable batteries since Dec 8 2024. Still running June 9 2025. The black colour layout is very easy to read from almost any angle and 12' or more. Weather predictions are accurate too.

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.

I had a previous LaCrosse model I had purchased 15 years ago. It worked well and from my experience with it I knew which features I liked. In addition to the basic indoor/outdoor temp and humidity, I like that it shows barometric pressure, both current and a graph showing the trend, and it has the automatic time signal that keeps the clock sync'ed with the atomic clock at NOA in Colarado. I live in Toronto and the time signal works reliably, over night each night. This new model has those features and I found it is much easier to set up. The sync with the outside transmitter was simple. This unit does not have a colour display, but that means it can operate effectively on batteries, and does not require an AC adapter. That works very well for where I have it placed. My one (very minor) complaint is the clock does not display the seconds.
