Title: Not automatic, factory pre-set time.
Review: This clock does not set the time automatically. This clock is factory pre-set to the correct time. "Automatic Time Set" should be replaced with "Factory Time Set".This means that any clock that relies on the wall outlet power to provide a 60Hz frequency (as is done in the USA, but not Europe and elsewhere).If you want to avoid this, you need to find a clock that use the NIST WWVB radio station signals to set them (often advertised as "atomic", even though the clock itself isn't maintained by an atomic clock, but the radio source is). They are more expensive than your average clock, and the cheapest I've seen is around $40. A full list of manufacturers can be found at the NIST website (hint: Sony is not listed).
