I recently bought a Casio G-Shock Waveceptor. Solar powered, atomic.

I don't have to wind it. I don't have to replace batteries. I don't
have to
set it. It even changed to EST from EDT at the correct time.

Cost me $69. It's got big enough numbers for me to read, and has a
backlight.

lol...my thoughts exactly.

I love Daylight Saving Time. I wish we had it all year 'round.

But adding six weeks of DST per year for the purpose of saving an
inconsequential amount of oil is ridiculous, especially given how many
time-aware devices will either have to be fixed, or are simply unfixable.

If they had said "we just like having the light an hour later for longer", I
could buy that. But instead, they pretend they're doing something useful,
while actually creating a huge amount of work and headaches for a wide
variety of people and industries.

Ugh.

Doesn't matter for atomic clocks. The sender in Colorado sends out the correct
time, with the appropriate DST change: http://tf.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwvb.htm
