Any input on "modern" (recent manufacture) Radio Controlled Clocks?

[Captain O]

I have been eyeing 4-"C" cell powered, (self-setting) radio-controlled Atomic Clock. I need a reliable wall clock and it shouldn't fall victim to power failure.

You can just get a solar powered unit.

Sadly they are mostly manufactured in China. Hard to find a good clock.

I've got a Lacross brand and it seems to be fine.

I have two Citizen Eco-Drive watches (one has a perpetual calendar and is radio-controlled as well). I wear the radio-controlled watch and leave the other under a desk lamp 18 hours a day.

I'll confess, I broke down and bought a LaCrosse radio-controlled unit on Amazon.com. (I also invested in 4-Energizer "C" cells that should last a good five years).

Clocks, shmocks. I always tell time by the method passed down from generations to me from my grand father.
I just ask the guy next to me.

How long have you been a Troglodyte?

I would say closet luddite, when it suits me.

Watch out for those wire hangers!

My clock arrived this morning and within 45 minutes it was synchronized with my Citizen Eco-Drive, Radio Controlled watch. (The batteries should power the unit until April 27th, 2023).
