[time-nuts] Most accurate clock on your wrist

[Robert Atkinson]

One problem with "atomic" timecode receiving clocks is the availability
of a usable signal. Most only receive the signal for the geographic area
where they were sold. Interference (SMPSU's etc) is also a problem.
Thus my vote goes to the sub $100 Garmin Forerunner 101.

Yes it's a GPS referenced wrist watch! They sell it as a training
(running aid) but it has a nice big time display. In terms of long time
accuracy, the availability of a time up-date any where in the world and
price it's got to be the winner. It's not much of a fashion statement
though!

Development continues - they are trying to reduce the power 
consumption by an order of magnitude to about 30mW so it can work in 
battery-powered equipment.
