I was looking for a good wall clock to hang in the shop today when I ran across a nice electric one and then a really cool digital one. That got me to thinking, which type would be LESS of a hassle to deal with?
Battery: I already have a battery operated clock in my living room and it runs on one AA, which seems to need replacing about once every 6 to 8 months. I hate it when the battery dies because it usually takes several minutes to figure out that the clock isn't running. But on the plus side, it isn't affected by power outages.
Electric/Digital: As already indicated, power outages are an electric clock's downfall (and my power does have issues every once in a while), but I'd never have to wonder if the battery died, especially if the clock were digital.
Also, I was looking at atomic clocks, but my shop doesn't have any windows and I live on an island, so the clock may have problems picking up a signal.
So, does anyone know if there's a better alternative on the market or am I stuck with the two common power choices? What would you do?
