ez8004 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Totally misleading thread title. The atomic clock in Teddington isn’t and was never wrong. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the time determined by the atomic clock and that stated via radio waves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it need a new battery? My watch shows a discrepancy between analogue and digital as the battery is on the way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All ways thought these things were supposed get the correct time from the atomic clock if they don't where do they get the reference time from.

I thought it was from the Anthorn Radio Station in Cumbria, it used to be the old Rugby radio station that broadcast the signal years back but I think they relocated, I could be getting muddled up.

Naive Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 battery was changed on new years eve, this clock is always correct to the second. . It could just be losing signal. I had one in a classroom not so long ago. It spent all its time whirring and resetting as it picked up and dropped the radio signal. I binned mine and bought a £2 one from IKEA. Worked fine:) Try putting it somewhere with really good reception, maybe a windowsill and leave it overnight. ---------- Post added 07-03-2018 at 21:30 ---------- could be the first time:rolleyes: It could aso be the last time.
