I guess I'm more of a perfectionist than Ron.  After three or four
battery-operated digital clocks that gained or lost one or two seconds a
month (resetting them was always a pain in the butt), I plunked down $12
at Wal-Mart for an Oregon-Scientific "atomic" clock that is always exact
whenever I check it against 10 MHz WWV.  It displays GMT date and time
(down to the second) and is the ideal clock for the ham shack.

It also works indoors in the ham shack, whereas my much more expensive
hand-held GPS (which also displays accurate local time) does not (those
microwaves don't go through anything opaque).
