Housed in a pewter-colored plastic frame and fitted with bold black numerals and metal hands, the WT-3181PL-Q delivers visible time, ambient temperature, and relative humidity at a glance. It operates on a single AA battery (sold separately) and is designed for locations protected from direct sun and heavy precipitation to preserve reading accuracy and product life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow accurate are the clock, temperature, and humidity readings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clock uses quartz step-motion movement for steady timekeeping when set manually, and the two gauges are mechanical analog indicators that provide quick, general readings of ambient conditions. For precise scientific measurements use specialized instruments; this model is intended for everyday monitoring around the home, garden, or porch. Hang it in a sheltered, shaded spot to reduce solar heating and moisture interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuartz analog step movement for reliable time display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThermometer range: -10°F to 130°F (-23°C to 50°C).\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHygrometer range: 1% to 99% relative humidity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBest accuracy when mounted away from direct sunlight and heavy rain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this clock outdoors year-round?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WT-3181PL-Q is weather-resistant and suitable for outdoor use in sheltered locations such as covered porches, sunrooms, and patios.
