Outdoor Clock?
« on: February 15, 2007, 10:13:55 pm »
Who uses an outdoor clock?  Where did you find it?  I am searching the net for one that is made for outdoors, but still looks good with my deck decor.  This one has a thermometer on the other side, which is cool. - http://www.amazon.com/Infinity-Instruments-Charleston-Outdoor-Thermometer-Rust/dp/B000IRQ7CK .  

I always end up wondering what time it is and if I have "just 10 more minutes" left.  Often I end up rushing or being late for appointments because I stayed in just a bit too long...

Thoughts?

oooooooooooooooooooooo, I like that one. I have one of these..



There's a matching thermometer as well...... Though, mine blew down and broke to pieces in a storm...... Gotta remember to grab another from the shipping department  ::)
If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.

This brings up a question..Don't most tubs have a clock? Otherwise how can you set the times of your filtration cycles?..Just wondering
Support your dealer so they can support you!

Hey, I LIKE the one you have.  Where did you find it?  Trouble is I already have a sun on my house and one on my chimnea.  So it might be too cutsie having 3 suns.

That is a good question.  My Arctic does not.  I asked my salesman why a $9000 spa would not have a clock, since it has the display.  I think that is something that should be on a spa.

Do other brands have a clock?

I'm not supposed to do this, BUT I REALLY do have one by my hot tub...(Bill, tell Sonny I owe him a commission).

NWD, I think this one will look great on your deck. 8-)

Yup, that is the one I found that I like so far...

It swivels, so if I turn it just perfectly, I will be able to see the time from the spa, and the temp from the house.

Mine doesn't.  After having bought a few clocks, I found a great one. (pick on with a white face, it makes it easier to see if you have no other lights on.  A friend bought two off some website (I'll search for it)  they are auto setting sync'd to the atomic clock analog clocks about 12" in diamater.

you probably already thought about it....

but remember alot of times you will be
soaking at night so you may want to
consider a clock that is self-lit or you
can always direct a malibu light towards
the clock....but a spotlight on a clock would make
the clock really stand out and I would think the clock
with a simple glow would be preferable.

Good point, however at night I have no commitments and can soak until I am a prune, or my Killians runs out..

ya know i have been looking around on the internet and
have been unable to find what I think would be best for you.

you seem like a guy that likes to customize and
not just take whats offered off the shelf...
[size=10](I'm that way too except I cant do the work myself...
i can barely figure out how to put gas in my car!)[/size]

didn't you say your support beams are hollow for wiring?

I wonder if you could get a small digital clock with like a
blue read-out.....cut a small rectangle hole in the pole..
wire the clock... then have a digital clock with soft blue
readout recessed into one of your pergola support poles?

you could even place it where it could only be seen if
you are sitting in the tub.


(a smaller version of this)
