I'm looking to buy one online, since there don't seem to be any purveyors in
my area. I'd like to hear some recommendations for brands. I've found
several styles, but I'm hoping to find one that's easiest to read quickly.
(Some look like they'll take a couple of seconds of deciphering.) I'm
thinking of going digital for that reason, but I have to admit I kind of
like the way the analog clocks look in the shack photos that I've been
seeing lately. Does anyone out there prefer a particular brand or face-style
over any other? Or is this just a case of "I'll get used to it over time"?
That's what I suspect, but what with all of the years of experience in here,
I'd be a fool not to avail myself of some of it.

MFJ has a nice one with two clocks -- one local, one UTC. Powered by a
couple of watch batteries. Reliable timekeeping, nice metal desk stand,
reasonable price (about $20 if I recall). I have one at my operating
position, does a nice job.

Only down side is that you almost have to have a third hand in order to
set the clock, as you have to hold in one button while you press the
hour or minute button, plus you have to hold onto the clock at the same
time. A little awkward, but once set you don't have to mess with it
(well, except twice a year for the local time side) until the batteries
have to be replaced.
