The clock's manual actually says: "Like a typical AM radio, your Atomic will not be able to receive the WWVB signal in places surrounded by heavy concrete or metal panels." This is quite misleading since I live in a rather lightweight house and AM radio works great in here. I live in Seattle, this is not that far from Colorado but the clock only picks the signal up when I take it outside of my house; inside it doesn't work, even if I put it next to a window.
All this being said, the clock is quite neat. It looks pretty cool, I like the design and big clear numbers, and the extra features like date and room temperature are really nice. Also, although the automatic adjustment (which seems to be just a marketing gimmick anyway) doesn't work properly, it doesn't mean that the clock is imprecise without it. In fact, after I took it outside to get signal and set the right time about two weeks ago, I have not detected a measurable deviation from my wristwatch which I know to be very precise.
So the three stars are basically because I hate misleading advertising, functionally it is worth more.
