Last one we got, is currently ticking 2 minutes ahead of a regular clock, which was in sync 2 months ago. So landfill indeed
A digital clock that 'ticks'?
Or just reset it, won't take much time.
Bought a nice Pyxis digital clock (Seiko) in Japan for $10. Has temp, humidity & loud alarm.
Automatically resets itself (picks up radio signal) like most digital clocks there.
Worked great in Japan… Resets to 1 hour behind time here :-(As designed for the Japanese market (only 1 time zone), there is no setting to change that. Removed antenna, but still resets.
Now in bathroom, decorated as a Sento (Japanese bathhouse) as a nice reminder of my travels there.Surprised it actually picked up a signal here in oz
@Sammyboy: Yes - unexpectedly. Thought I could just reset time like normal digital clock. Even wrapped in foil to stop reception… But kept resetting here to Japanese time.
In Brisbane, receives signal occasionally from transmitter in Kyushu or possibly Guam.@Sammyboy: Its transmitted by low frequency (LF) radio waves, which can travel a long distance. Clock occasionally updates - only at night. Best time for long distance (short wave) radio reception.
Read discussions here about radio-controlled watches not picking up signals.
Yeh wish we had broadcast time signals. Clocks with DAB radio are the go here. Sets the time automatically from the radio signal, though I use a Google Nest for a bedside clock radio now. Have an Echo Wall Clock that sets it's self as well, the only clock left I have to set manually now is the microwave when the power goes out.
@bamzero: And clocks on mobiles!
In the 1980's, was amazed by the accurate (atomic derived) clock shown on my first mobile phone. No more ringing the talking clock to check the time!On a headland in Northern NSW, it picked up the NSW daylight savings time. Walking a few metres, it picked up Qld time - 1 hr different. I had became a "Time traveller"😉
On a train (hard seat - cheapest class) in rural Western China in 2008, noticed poorer locals did not wear watches. They'd see mine & twist my arm around to view the time!
Mobiles were just coming in, meaning the first way of telling the time for themselves - would be on their mobile.Quite a technological transition.
2 minutes ahead of a regular clock
Can't see that as an issue for a child, or even an adult.
Better to be slightly ahead of time. That way there's no excuse for running late😉
Some deliberately set their clock forward, for that reason!Built a wooden middle-ages clock (kit). It only has only 1 hand. That presents a huge challenge to modern time obsessed people!
But there was little reason to know time precisely before the industrialised work place & trains. And the time shown by the simple weighted mechanism (no pendulum) was not accurate anyway!Displayed my inaccurate clock in my CBD corporate consultancy, to remind my clients, time is not the most important thing in daily life. (Retired in my 30's to travel & enjoy life.)
Wrote a paper in Psychology, on my observational study on the relationship of clock-watching & anxiety. (The more anxious the subject was about meeting a time deadline, the more they watched the clock, which caused more anxiety… & so on.)
After that, no longer wore a watch.
Important things still get done.
Much happier not to know the 'precise' tine😊Who needs a watch when you've got a phone.
Scourge of our time obsessed society😜
I carry a sundial😂My observations on reading time, with the introduction of mobile phones
Sorry, WatchNerd you've been made redundant (a long time ago)!
An old powered mobile (using old SIM with no.credit that picks up time from network), with suitable clock app - could do a similar job to this clock
Yeh it's no Seiko Tuna. It's a $4 toy for a kid. My kid has it and likes it. She doesn't care if it doesn't keep time correctly. The temp sensor is somewhat accurate. Honestly, not bad for 4 bucks. You could worse.
Indeed. You could worse.
Haha just noticed the typo :)
My son has been using it as his clock for years, works fine and barely uses any charge. Time gets changed for daylight savings here anyway so it's fine.
