There is a radio controlled clock at my former workplace. As I
installed it, I am still getting the blame that it is not working.
I'll check the battery voltage but it does seem to me that the battery
life is disappointing.

Had an ordinary wall clock with "disappointing" battery life. I could
remember that I'd "only just" changed the battery ie within the last
year. Measuring the battery gave a reasonable 1.2/1.3 V but the clock
wouldn't run, the gears would twiych but not drive. Investigation
found corrosion at an internal pressure contact cleaned that up and
the clock would run with the same battery and has been running for a
good month or three since.
