Am tired of having to reset the clock in the microwave all the time. Would like to get an inexpensive panel mount style of LED clock. All the ones on ebay or Amazon seem to be combo units with temp. and voltage and are 24 hours. I just want something simple, that is 12 hours, has reset buttons on the faceplate and that I can mount recessed in a wall or cabinet. The one in the pic is an example of what I'd like but is only available from down under.When it comes to AC & DC LED voltmeters and ammeters, there's lots available. Not sure why a basic clock is so hard to find. Anyone know of a source in NA?

It's likely that all of those devices you saw on Amazon use a common chip that provides a clock, DVM and temperature functions. Someone who makes something like this is going to use the commonly available chip they could not afford to have their own chip made.

I like my Atomic Clock never have to set it.

We use a couple of these AcuRite Atomic Desk Clock - Walmart LED CLOCKS... These are desktop size and are always showing the correct time with the ATOMIC RESET every night at midnight I think it is...Inexpensive and has all the features you need... Battery powered... Also has built-in indoor temperature reading... great little clock for use at home and in the RV'sRoy Ken

I think I have to reset mine when I get outside a time zone... Very seldom go that far haha...All of the clocks will have to be reset. They have no idea what time you are in unless you are into 24 hour clocks and that has its own problems as well when moving around the country...Roy Ken

I sort of miss having the VCR blink "12:00" all the time.

If you don't mind building your own pretty panel, there's this vintage automotive clock that's available for not much cash.

I also found this one that might be appropriate (it's a 12 hour clock, not a 24 hour clock).

Seems like this clock is close. It's 24 hour though.

I use a similiar clock with the remote temperature sensor. Put the sensor in the frig if you want to monitor the temp, put it in the basement if you're worried about pipes freezing, or put it outside if you want to see how well the air conditioner is performing. A bit more useful for the information you might need.
