Petty clock problem

[Bob_Vaughn]

We have digital clock in the bedroom of our rv that has battery back up. Last summer we took a trip to Alaska and back so we moved every couple of days. Even with new 9volt installed the clock would not hold the time. So every day we had to reset the time. Even the one in our home does not hold the time. I am sure there must be dependable brand to buy. One of ours is a magnavox and even it does not remember. There were times when we had to dry camp thus we never knew during the night what time it was.

Get one that is just on batteries. A single AA battery lasts a long time in a clock.

Do you remember which clock you purchased??

Yes to the dumb phone! It always knows what time it is :D. Haven't packed a separate clock or worn a wristwatch in donkey years although the man still wears his wristwatch. I like to think it's because I bought it for him but suspect it's just because he's a creature of habit.

I like the LaCrosse clocks with indoor/outdoor temps. I have 2 of them. One runs strictly on battery power and last about a yr. The other has a wall-wart with battery backup. They both pickup time signal via radio waves and are very accurate.

I like the wall-wart model the best. It has humidity levels and a indicator as to barometer rising/falling. It has brightness adjustment for easy viewing or dimmed at night. The battery model is a LCD. They have various model and usually can be bought for under $30. I think mine were under $20.

Added thought, the remote temp can be used to monitor fridge or a compartment temp.
