CR2032, expensive at the store but cheap online:

Good value even if 75% of them are poor (which is unlikely).

For square pixels, this first one is actually a 5x4 ratio used commonly
in non-widescreen LCDs.

CRTs tended to all have 4x3 apect ratios and hence for a horizontal
resolution of 1280 the "square-pixel correct" vertical resolution is
960.

Internally, the GPS satellites have an approximately 10.23 MHz
oscillator which is:

1. multiplied by 120 to generate the L2 carrier (1227.6 MHz),
2. multiplied by 154 to generate the L1 carrier (1575.42 MHz),
2a. Multiplied by 115 to generate the L5 carrier (1176.45 MHz, Block III
sats only)
3. passed directly to the P(Y) code generator (10.23 MHz symbol rate)
4. divided by 10 to generate the C/A code (1.023 MHz symbol rate), and
5. divided by 20460 to generate the data (50 Hz bit rate).

So everything is derived from this oscillator, which is actually
10.2299543 MHz. This -4.57 mHz corrects for relativistic effects.

When most people communicate with other time zones it's via telephone or
email, and when they calculate the destination local time, it's to
answer the question "Are they likely to be awake?" or "Are they more
likely to be at work or at home?". Having a global time won't solve this
problem, you will still have to do the conversion to find out the local
time to answer these questions.

If you're scheduling radio comms then the Military probably have the
correct approach - Zulu time for everything.
