I spent years looking for an affordable battery-powered WiFi clock that syncs via NTP since where I am, the WWVB clocks never pick up the radio signal. I never considered making my own. Anyway, about two years ago this option popped up on Amazon. I've been happy with it: https://www.amazon.com/OCEST-Wall-Clock-12Inch-Auto/dp/B0DJS... I'm guessing internally it's not much different than the DIY clock in this submission.

Thanks for sharing this. I, too, have spent years trying to find an analog-style clock that is completely hands-off for adjustments (power outage, DST, drift correction) and it looks like this one handles it all.

It feels like in 2026 this should be something default and assumable, but alas, it is not.
