Maybe talk about how a lot of the time people's watches said different times and you didn't know which ones were right?

Umm this didn't happen because you used quartz movements and called the atomic clock weekly. That's normal right? that was a normal thing to do? On the third beep it will have been completely normal.

...no? Most watches today don't even do that.

No the watch doesn't call you do and set it silly.

Though talking clock lines have mostly been discontinued in favour of NTP. As there are probably more phone clocks etc than watches perhaps now, in a way, most clocks do call the talking clocks haha
