Almost any digital or non digital watch or clock will work well enough.
In Response To: What clock to choose for Celestial Navigation... and a bigger question. ()
Ideally, you should determine the clock's "rate", ( The number of seconds it gains or loses each day) so that you can apply that to the time if you can't get a time tick from WWV for a few days. With today's timepeices though, you probably don't even need to to that. Go to Walmart, and buy a couple of cheap watches or clocks so you have some comparison.
