Re: What time is it? (rant)
07/02/12 10:01 PM


I have also had issues with clocks on some circuits depending on what else is on the circuit. Most extreme case my parents had a air filter which would freak out my clock (+/- 2 hours in 2-4 hours, why yes I like getting up a 5 am instead of 7 am). Got rid if the filter and that clock is usually +/- 1-2 mins per year. In the US its not that bad either as you set the clock about every 6 months anyway for DST. Though the red numbers are starting to fade due to age.

My fav is the one we have on the wall right now. The motor doesnt work very well. So therefor I leave an almost dead battery in it just so it moves once and awhile. The time is not very accurate due to a lack of power
