I just saw, at Sharper Image, a wrist watch that receives signals from an atomic clock and synchs itself to it -- for about $100!<<< Phil Davis (author of _Beyond The Zone System_, for those of you who don't know the name) has one of these in his house and loves it. He knows EXACTLY what time it is No quite right..... the signal comes from a radio beacon in Colorado.... it does synch up to the clock that has an atomic clock attached to it......very accurate, as the synchronization happens several times a day...... The clock purportedly owned by Phil is a real Atomic clock......These things do not know what time it is, but rather keep track of psed time. Yes they are neat! Frank
