I have an atomic clock and an atomic watch.  They work well.  The batteries 
in both units last for a couple of years.
I've never carried the clock on a trip, but I've worn my watch to Alaska. 
Since I was away from the Pacific time zone, it didn't set itself.  I was 
able to set it manually.
Because the watch has hands, it can take a little time if you are moving to 
a different time zone.
My wife, Cindy, bought them for me; I don't remember where they came from.
That's all.

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.
