I'm wearing an "atomic watch" as we speak and have two such clocks as well. A few years ago I had a 4:3 Sony Trinitron tv. It was obsoleted by newer better technology and I now have a 16:9 ratio TV just like you do. The clock/watch argument in the age of GPS, network and cellular time sync is a valid argument only to geeks, of which I am one, thanks (in part) to my Casio watch.
