The La Crosse Clock Co. 13-Inch Silas Indoor/Outdoor Wall Clock is a versatile timepiece designed for both indoor and outdoor use, featuring a combination of timekeeping, temperature, and humidity monitoring functionalities. This product is backed by a two-year warranty, ensuring its quality and reliability under normal use.

Function Description:

The primary function of this device is to display the current time accurately using a quartz movement. In addition to time, it integrates a thermometer and a hygrometer, allowing users to monitor ambient temperature and humidity levels. The clock face clearly presents the time with large, easy-to-read numerals, while integrated dials at the bottom display temperature in Fahrenheit and humidity as a percentage. The thermometer and hygrometer are self-adjusting and do not require a battery for operation, simplifying their use and maintenance.
