EDIT:
While I have ordered from them before I prefer newegg.com or ebay.com for my computer tech stuff. but Amazon does seem to have a pretty wide selection so there are occasions ill order something from there as very recently I just ordered one of those atomic clocks (i.e. Marathon CL030060BK for $29.95) that automatically sync themselves to that place in Colorado that is the standard of time keeping here in the USA as it contains one of the most accurate clocks on the entire planet as I was reading a article on it in that it's so accurate it would not deviate one second either way of the actual time in 100 million years and I think they have a newer model since that will not deviate one second either way of the actual time in I think it was 300 million years and atomic clocks sync from that source basically. because the clock I was replacing has to be manually set and it's not really that setting it manually was a problem, it's just that when I do set it exactly to the time it is (give or take a second or so) it will inevitably climb up a minute or so in not all that long so what I been doing until recently is setting it back one minute from the actual time (so it's behind 1 minute) so it will take that much longer to be off by more than one minute (as it will have to increase two full minutes before it's over by one minute(basically buys me more time before I have to tweak it again)). but with this new clock I don't have to worry about jack as it will be within a second all of the time since it updates itself automatically from the signal I think four times a day etc (and as a bonus it displays Hours/Minutes/Seconds etc instead of just Hours/Minutes etc). my older watch (which is nothing fancy and I had it since the early 1990's), while that does not stay in perfect sync either it takes several months and even then is only off by maybe 3-5 seconds or so (like ahead) which is generally no big deal here because twice a year I have to re-sync it anyways because of day light savings time in March and November. but with that clock I just ordered very recently you just set your time zone with a switch on the back and put in batteries and it pretty much does the rest automatically.
p.s. it's a matter of time before Bill Gates regains the top spot over Amazon's CEO (Jeff Bezos) as Gates is pretty much always either #1 or #2 as others come and go but Gates remains consistently #1 or #2 to my knowledge.
