Where can I buy one of those watches and how much will it cost me?
Right, only the very best quartz wristwatches are accurate enough to expose leap seconds when they occur. I got my Pulsar PSR-10 for $125 on sale at Penny's many years ago. It's rated something like 10 seconds a year (the "10" in PSR10), so if you keep an eye on it every day, or maybe even as infrequently as once a week, a leap second in local time shows up nicely. On the other hand, most radio controlled watches (e.g., WWVB here in the USA) make a cute jump in time every night, and after a leap second, presumably even more so.
