I can understand a ‘traditional’ movement clock fluctuates with temperature etc… But why is an atomic clock SO accurate and how does an atomic clock differ to a quartz clock – neither have movement

momkat asked:

This a small bedside clock which also has the day, date and temperature. It works for the four time zones in the uSA, but will not reset the Eastern zone to daylight savings time, although it has in the past. I’ve changed batteries and tried to reset several times.

It had the right time zone before I changed batteries, now I can’t remember how to reset it.

hdawg2006 asked:

I am curious of what time an atomic clock will reset itself for Daylight Savings. This is from last April, 2008. I was under the belief it was predetermined at 3:00a.m.

This is in the state of Kansas, and on the CST (-6) time zone.

Can anyone tell me where I might find an atomic digital wall clock that only tells the time?

Eroteme asked:


That is, no day, date, year, temperature and so forth, one that simply tells the time like other wall clocks.

I asked this before, received a couple responses, but both told me where I could find one that gives temperature, day, date, etc. This is exactly that which I do not want. I want an atomic digital wall clock that only tells the time like other wall clocks.

How do I set the time zone on my Sharp SPC384D Atomic Clock?

Wideleg84 asked:


A couple of years ago, I bought a Sharp SPC384D bedside alarm clock, which gets time signals from the NIST atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado, which is THE legal standard for time keeping in the US. Recently, I had to change the batteries. As you might expect, the current time and date were wiped out when I did so. Once the new batteries were in place, I was able to reset the time and date without any real problems. I was not able, however, to reset the clock for the Central time zone, which is where I am living. I’ve lost or mislaid the instructions for this silly thing, and I can’t find any kind of website or online information about this clock, except where to buy it. Does anyone have a copy of the instructions for this clock, or can anybody tell me hoe to reset this clock for the Central time zone? Thanks in advance!
