I presently use the radio time signals or the internet to check or sync
my cheap quartz wristwatch for navigation calculations, and I also have
a cheap watch that picks up WWV when it is in the mood.  I find my
trusty Timex is off about 6 seconds a month, but I was wondering if
there are any reasonably priced real quartz chronometers (non-wrist)
that anyone would recommend?  I use the word real since the word
chronometer is tossed about by the marketing people without any regard
to it's strict real meaning, which has been posed here at least once.
I would be happy with a settable second hand and some sort of
temperature compensation. Apparently, the picky can pick up a used
atomic clock on e-bay these days, but I am looking for a happy medium.
If I found one, would a Hamilton Chronometer still be reliable or have
too many years passed?


Thanks
