I have a La Crosse digital clock on the back patio facing north and another one in the kitchen facing west. Today the one outside was exactly one hour fast, but the other had the correct time. The thing is a pain to set manually, so I remove then reinsert the batteries and let it pick up the signal from the satellite. That only works consistently if I have it facing south.
I have a Pulsar PQ-2003 watch and for several years it would for no reason be exactly one hour slow or one hour fast. It had nothing to do with daylight savings. I recall listening to a James Rink roundtable discussion on YouTube and one of his guests said he was missing an hour from his watch then found out later he was off world for two weeks. I stopped wearing it because it was too unreliable, the battery drained every four months and the buttons stopped responding. I wear a Timex now.
