Aug 2002: my $10 watch broke. This atomic digital watch sure looks handy; not sure I want it $50 bad, though. Turns out I do; ordered it 1Sep (grumble... why doesn't my browser KeepPostRecords?) received it 9Sep:
#rdfig-20020909:Sep 09 13:32:59 * DanConn? takes delivery of a watch that is supposed to set itself from radio signals... http://dm93.org/z2001/WearableGizmo
#rdfig-20020909:Sep 09 13:59:19 atomic time watch doesn't seem to know what time it is. It says 2:01p right now, but time from ntp is 1:59
The documentation said signal reception is best from midnight to 6am, and sure enough, the watch synced up over night. I guess I'm happy enough with it, though...
- it doesn't have a light, and
- the current time zone isn't displayed by default.
- it was really difficult adjusting the strap size.
Some CueCat? scan data: from the package; presumably a shipment identifier: Type: 128 Code: 000000177526
my order number: Type: C39 Code: 3057825
from the product package: UPACode: 757456003016 La Crosse Technology radio controlled watch Model: WT-961A
Hmm... I registered my product, using my yahoo consumer crud email account.
There was precious little confirmation of the registration.
I looked at the source, and evidently it's just a form that mails
the results to info@lacrossetechnology.com ; gee... couldn't they
CC me? grumble KeepPostRecords

New Timex 1440 arrived today. A little ugly, but quite functional.
