Koch 12107 2-Part Metro Extra Wireless Weather Station

accurate

if you are in the UK, don't buy this product. I bought it cos it closely resembled a weather station I had been using for years which has now worn out. Its manual is very basic. It slopes on the wall leaning towards the battery compartment. It wouldn't pick up time settings for over 20 minutes - I had to set it myself. When I set it myself it refused to take in British time clock setting changes. Nothing in the manual tells you what country codes relate to where - I did try the location settings. The display is slightly different to what is pictured - the Mon - Sun are in another language and not displayed as pictured. Can't trust this gadget's weather settings if it can't get my time zone or location right. Display is very light and airy. On good notes, this looks good as a table display. Don't buy it, you are wasting your time and unlike many I don't have the patience to go to the manufacturers website for answers if the makers can't be bothered to include a full manual with the product or directions on how to get one in every commonly used language such as ENGLISH!! 14th November addition I tried to get this item returned to my purchaser using Amazon's return service for a refund. Unfortunately I have had the misfortune of seeing them use DPD COURIER SERVICES - WHO ARE THE MOST IMCOMPETENT COURIER COMPANY I HAVE EVER HAD THE HEART TO DEAL WITH!!! I told them more than 3 times my return item was in a safe easily found code padlockable place. They even acknowledged me once saying they would pass on my message to thier driver. 3 times they came and said I wasn't home. I give up. If you do decide to buy and find me right and want to return your item, learn from me unless you are home most times. I may get sued for this but in my opinion: DPD (or should I say D stupid D) don't listen.

The user manual is poor and it is not updated: 1 - setting up altitude does not work therefore the pressure value is not adjustable. Although described in the user manual, this procedure was deleted by the manufacturer. 2 - Time offset setup procedure (mandatory for time zones different from GMT+1) is not described in this manual. Not easy. 3 - Locations far away from Germany have no or have poor automatic setup due to signal limitations (not refered in the user manual that shoul specify boundaries for automatic synchronization to work) 4 - Manual time setting is overruled every synchronization and user manual does not teach how to avoid it.

Part of The screen is not working Very hard to calibrate

The only thing I will say is take your time, the clock signal comes from Germany but you can off set it, the readings are correct from the outdoor sensors and the pressure guide is spot on. The website is a different matter the full manual is there but you need to dig, it's also in German so translate through Google. They also have tech support who are very fast to mail back. I would recommend.

The weather station is ok once set up and yes the time can be offset to have it the same as GMT. However when I had cause to e-mail Koch I didn't receive a reply, quite disappointed with them. This is not suitable for anyone buying their first weather station as most of it I did after owning a different make and model and therefore knew what I was looking for.
