Looking for an Outdoor Clock and Thermometer

I am in the process of trying to find the best outdoor clock for this upcoming summer season.  Ideally I want it to also have a temperature gauge.  I want it to be fairly large and I want it to look great.  Here is what I have found so far.  Check them out.  I will use this page as my own personal check list to make my decision.  It really helps me to see them all in one place to compare looks vs cost.

Ballard Designs:  I like this one because it's Slate and my outdoor bar and table are both made of slate.  At $139 it's a bit pricey so I haven't purchased it.  Item# AT412

GrandinRoad:  This one is good because it has automatic accuracy linking to the official US Atomic Clock.  It's 18" in diameter.  Item# 39387 for $99

Frontgate has this model which is 24" in diameter with glass lens, with a brushed copper finish over a steel housing which won't change color over time.  It not only has a temperature gauge but also a humidity gauge.  Item# 40788 for $99.50 (on sale)


Although I really want a clock and temperature gauge in one if I find one I like better that are separate I may go that route.  Here is an option from Grandinroad, Item# 25540, both for $99 or $69 each.

Here is a three in one, radio controlled clock, thermometer, hygrometer from Home Improvements, Item# 364277 for $79.99


Two in One:  This outdoor clock has the clock on the bottom with the temperature gauge on the top.  I like it because I get both in one, has flowers, a sun and it is cheap but the clock itself isn't as defined as I'm thinking I want.  Although it appears to be metal it is terracotta. Once I'm able to see all my choices in one place it will be easier for me to decide.  From Whateverworks, Item# K10-05 for $19.99



UPDATEBlue Glass Clock:  From Plow & Hearth, Item#64035 for $89.95 now on sale for $59.99  This may be the one except 18"D seems small for outdoors.
