 I confess that I am an "exact time" freak and sadly the several WWVB
clocks I have tried here don't get enough of a signal to sync.  I have
investigated a wall clock that syncs with a time standard on the
internet via an ethernet connection just like the clock in my
computer(s) - a very beautiful one with 5" high digits showing hours,
minutes, and seconds.  Too bad it doesn't have tri-color LEDs that would
be red during the CW silent period, green during the 'phone silent
period, and some other color at other times.  That is what I would want
for a digital clock that costs $500.  If my present analog "ship radio
room" quartz clock dies, I may reconsider it.
