Hmm, well this is indeed does look kind of cool...it 'might' be on the very peripheral of accuracy, however the clock should be right on the time. The compass is maybe okay if you can adjust it's magnetic anomalies somewhat accurately.
For our purposes though, I think the unit will be just fine...it does indeed look cool even if it's a little off. The thermometer, if it's in direct sunlight...will read very HOT. But I think you will know that if it really is that hot.
All in all I would say it's a good price for the item.
