Are you sure all your rooms are in the same time zone? Maybe some are in the Twilight Zone

Dear Clock Experts:
I have three fairly new "atomic" clocks that are claimed to sync with WWV.
All three show different times all of the time! The one in the ham shack is
within a second of WWV. One is off by 10 seconds, more or less. The other
is off by a little over a minute. Strange!
How would you design an atomic clock with a built in lag?
Has anyone else had this happen?
73, Jim W0SR

I saw one the other day in Menards, around $20.

I can see why some want digital (easier to read) but some like analog
because of the "Identify on the 10 minute rule"
