Unless things have changed in clock design in the past 2 or 3 years,
"WWVB" clocks don't sync here.  I suspect not enough signal in a
ground-floor frame building even on the wall facing south.

I have investigated an ethernet-synced digital wall clock and they
aren't cheap by any means, well into three figures for a single-color
one displaying HH:MM:SS readable across the room.  My dream would be one
with normal yellow color that turned red during the 15-18 minute and
45-48 minute parts of each hour and green during the 0-3 minute and
30-33 minute parts of each hour.  Any old shipboard brass pounders will
recall why! :)
