Made in China wall clocks are so cheap, less than $10 each, that I
have one in every room including the bathroom. The clock movement
is exactly the same one found in Dollar Store $! alarm clocks. They
all keep amazingly good time.

The bathroom clock is acting queer. It loses an hour a day , fades to
losing 2 1/2 hours for the week then stays at that state of time lag.
Okay, I changed the batteries not once but three times. Not fixed. I
took out the cover and reseated the clock arms on the assumption that
they may be rubbing against each other. Not fixed. So I exchanged
that bathroom clock with one of the room clocks that had been keeping
good time for years. Now the replacement loses one hour a day. The
former bathroom clock that I had laid on its side, no point hanging up
a flakey clock, now keeps good time. Interesting. Rehung it and its
good. Replaced the bathroom clock with one from another room. Same
slow down pattern. The former (2nd) slow poke keeps good time once
out of its bathroom place.

Any idea what is happening? The closest thing to a logical
possibility may be the house electrical wire for the switches running
inside the wall. But I don't think that's the cause.

I don't wear a watch. A wall clock is a lot easier to take a quick
peek at especially when I fall asleep. As for the bathroom, that's
also my reading room. You'd be impressed by my library there.

Only other thing I can think of that would possibly have any impact is a
magnetic feild, from maybe the exhaust fan or a TV on the wall backing up to
where the clock is, or florescent lights around the mirror. Most Chinese
cheap electronics are not shielded worth a damn.

My sister could never wear a wrist watch. They seemed to go haywire
and stopped working. She called it her, "electrifying personality".
