Re: Mains powered clock
Irish reception of the UK or German Radio time signal is very erratic in the Mid-West and West. One Alarm clock here has no manual setting and can take 1 to 10 days to recover the time. Idiot design.
A wrist watch uses your body heat to make the crystal more stable. A quartz crystal wall / desk / alarm clock is a victim of the local temperature. Much less accurate than worn decent metal back quartz watch and very much less accurate than synchronous motor or mains counting electronic clock.
