Trintec 24 Hour Military TIME SWL Zulu TIME White 24HR White Wall Clock 10"

Works well. Keeps accurate time.

Z or Zulu Time is the Military designation for UTC/GMT. It's used mostly in radio communications that span multiple time zones, and one time zone has to be settled on. However, nothing says the Trintec has to be set to Zulu. You can set it to local time, or any other zone. I have had a 24 hour format wall clock before, but somewhere along the line, it broke. When I saw the Trintec, I decided to try it out. It's been a week since I set the second hand to the zero mark and compared with a Radio-controlled clock as a reference, it is only a second off. Considering 15 seconds drift in a month is average for many consumer grade clocks, this is going 5 seconds making it a quality quartz movement. The only downside I see is "tracking", which means how the second and minute hands line up the second and minute marks. Some places it's dead on and other places it's halfway between the marks. I think this has something to do with a majority of quartz clocks and watches, so unless I pay well over $100 or buy a digital display, I won't get to a perfect track level. It meant for wall use and it's a unique analog in that it's 0-24 and not 0-12 with 13h-24h on a inner ring, which can at times be ambiguous. Is it 01 or 13h in the place you are calling?

Made in Canada, NOT China. I'm a ham operator and ex-military. Even my cameras are set to Zulu time so i can travel the world and not fret about time zones. This replaces a trusty analog 24-hr clock that died after 22 years. I bought a replacement movement for the dead clock but I'm beginning to like this better. In an unconditioned room the clock has remained within 3 seconds of WWV and WWVB since purchase. Too early to estimate battery longevity and I haven't measured current consumption. Stepping second hand but I got used to it.

It’s a clock works fine at but looses or gains a couple of minutes on either side. Gave it an extra star because it drives people nuts!

I had this "same clock" for over 20 years. It was my negligence not the manufacturers falt I had to buy a new one.

In spite of negative reviews on Amazon.com, I went ahead and ordered this clock. The frontal design is both attractive and easy to read. Unfortunately I bought a piece of AAA junk. After two days hanging on my wall, the clock stopped working. The clock is cheaply made. For instance, there is no back-plate to the clock. The back of the clock is hollow, like a frisbee. The clock mechanism itself is in a tiny plastic box, maybe a couple inches in width and height. The time-setting dial is recessed into the box such that there is slight amount of aggravation when setting the time. For USD 29.75, I expected a reliable time piece for critical applications requiring knowledge of GMT/UTC time - this clock is not it.

I love the size of this clock. It's size does not dominate the wall where it is located but appears to be just the right size. Having a clock that actually has 24 hours on the dial rather than just 12 with the additional 12 hours marked adjacent to the 12 hour dial is greatly appreciated.

My husband has been looking for a clock style like this since his military retirement. I love the 24 hours in one rotation on the face (most gave 2 circle of times, not 1 full 24 hours) but it’s a cheap product. It’s small and not solid. It’s inexpensive plastic and lightweight. I was hoping for something more substantial.
