Great and works great

This clock looks great on all of our walls. And after putting them on the market for two years (we already have four of them), we found that they show almost perfect times. We LOVE how it looks in person. Looks just as good as in the photos. The trick is that the minute hand is constantly moving. If you look closely, you'll see that it's always on the move. That's how realtime works, isn't it? Real time doesn't stop for a tenth of a second every second and then jump on. The real time is constantly moving. So it's great to see time represented as it really is. I was worried it might not be very accurate since it's not an atomic clock. Our house was full of atomic clocks because at first it sounded like a great idea - your clock always tells the exact time. But in real life it just didn't work. When it comes to changing the time every two years, atomic clocks never work properly. They are either only updated at the new time, or they are updated - but sometimes only after days and weeks! And sometimes never. And just tonight one of our last remaining atomic clocks decided - out of the blue - to upgrade, even though it's a long way from DST time. Decided to update 4 hours later than actual time! (Or is it 20 hours in advance)? I don't know - but either way it's either 4 hours or 20 hours! The moment I saw this I came here to order another one. Atomic clocks are said to show the most accurate time, but when they are 1 to 4 hours apart for several days and weeks in a row, it is not entirely accurate. And you cannot install them manually. So I figured it would be best to use a clock that can be set manually, assuming it's accurate enough. So this watch is perfect. I never have to reset it - except every six months when the time changes. That's all. At 6 months, they are literally no more than a minute away. So updating twice a year works great. In any case, we are very happy that we have a clock that we can simply set manually and have full control over. We are fed up with the so-called accurate atomic clocks that never work.
