My atomic wall clock loses time?
Hi
I actually have 2 atomic clocks that receive the time by radio waves from Rugby I believe. One is on the wall and runs on batteries, the other is plugged in and is used as my bedside clock.
Both of these clocks have "reversed" time by 20mins a few times at random, i.e. it is 9.50am but they show 9.30am. This does not happen to both at the same time, it's always one or the other. I want to know how this could possibly happen if they are auto-corrected by radio waves?? It is becoming very annoying because I actually left the house 20mins early one day thinking I was late. Any ideas?

Get a watch.
I would throw them away and get a new clock that give out the right time
On the positive side they are 100% correct twice a day!
If they are within the gurantee period, first of all speak to the supplier.
If not, then speak to the manufacturer.
If they are of doubtful pedigree and come from the honourable Far East I would scrap them.
