I have two of the so-called "atomic clocks", and I love them, but, one
caveat here; if you live in a glass and concrete high-rise, you won't get
the benefit of the synchrnization / self-setting feature unless you place
the clock by a window, and even then, it can be very "iffy" due to all the
electrical power noise around you, given that the clock is synchronizing to
WWVB's 60KHz time code transmissions.  My clocks were much more accurate
when I lived in my previous town house.
