Just curious.

Try one of these. They keep near perfect time whether on internal
battery, generator or grid power.

It probably does keep good time, once set. However, according to the
reviews, it is NOT self-setting.

BTW, I've had a clock like that too. It even pretended to set itself. It never did


I have a similar clock. I don't even know if the battery is replaceable. It
was also about $20. It has so many buttons, two alarms, etc. Even works off
new saving time settings. No touch. It just sits there and works well.

My old clock was a Sony with charging battery. Having to replace a 9 volt
battery every year is costly and troublesome.
