Need a quick, easy way to determine both the time and the morning temperature with a single glance? Check out the Timex TX5040 electronic thermometer, a versatile desktop model that simultaneously displays the indoor temperature, outdoor temperature, and current time in big, bold numbers. The compact unit--which also mounts on a wall or sits unobtrusively on a tabletop or shelf--offers an indoor temperature range of 32 to 104 degrees F (0 to 40 degrees C) and an outdoor range of -58 to 158 degrees F (-50 to 70 degrees C). As a result, you can instantly gauge whether to bring the plants inside during a cold spell, turn up the heat in the living room, or put on a jacket before taking a stroll. At the same time, the TX5040 includes an integral minimum/maximum memory function that records the high and low temperatures of the day. The values are available at the push of a button, with a second button clearing and resetting the memory on command.

The thermometer is remarkably easy to read--even from across the room--thanks to the three-line LCD panel, which features pronounced digits that measure 0.34 inches tall. The time digits, meanwhile, check in at 1/4 inches each. Best of all, all three lines--one each for the indoor temperature, outdoor temperature, and time--are stacked in a logical fashion, so you don't need to press any buttons or switch screens to check the latest info. Users do, however, have their choice of multiple formats for each line, including Celsius or Fahrenheit readings for the temperature and 12-hour (with AM and PM) or 24-hour readings for the time. The selections are made via the five silver control buttons on the front.

The TX5040 comes with a wired, weather-resistant temperature probe (with a 10-foot cord) for gauging the outdoor temperature, along with an integral folding stand. Because of the wired probe, the main unit will need to located near a window to enjoy the outdoor temperature functions. And should you want to mount the unit on a wall rather than place it on a shelf or desk, simply suspend it from its rear hanger hole (you'll need to provide the nail or screw). As a final bonus, the TX5040 is streamlined and attractive, with a sleek white housing and a snazzy five-button control panel on the front.

The compact unit, which is powered by a single AAA battery (not included), measures 2.5 by 3.38 by 0.75 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year factory warranty.
