I don't have one, but I have use someone else's atomic clock.  They have
been known to reset themselves to the wrong time, and also, they are
marketed for the country you are in.  You can't take them with you abroad
and reset them for the country you are in
because only the 4 time zones in the US are offered for clocks and watches
sold for the US.  I guess you could manually set them for the time for the
country you are in, but you'd have to reset it when you returned home.  But
I wish they had a manual override function.

Subject: Atomic Watches And Atomic Clocks

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.
