Hi Group,
While we're on the subject of talking watches, I was wondering if anyone
has any of the talking atomic watches or atomic clocks. For those who
aren't aware (and probably almost everyone on this list is,) those type
of watches and clocks are supposed to set themselves via the WWVB time
signal on 60 kHz. They tell you to place the watch or clock on a window
ledge away from metal over night and it should automatically update.
The update is supposed to take place at 3:00 AM Eastern Time--the time
when the entire continental United States is in the same day. One
problem with them at my location: I have had a talking watch and talking
clock--both of which are supposed to be atomic and despite what I do,
they never set automatically, I have to set them manually and they
don't seem to keep very good time when you do this[--even when you set
them to the WWV time signal at 5, 10, 15 ETC. mHz. I have to reset them
every few days or they will lose or gain a minute or more.
I am in the Buffalo, New York area which or course places me in the
Eastern Time Zone.
Has anyone else experienced this issue where the clocks/watches simply
won't set automatically? I bought both items from LS&S Products.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
