My watch is also digital, but I wanted to put a word in for my Casio.
It's the G-Shock MT-G, module 2638. Auto sets, auto charges, 200 M
water resist if I ever need it. I love it. It was around $ 100. I
live in GA in the USA. It sets very reliably but can only receive the
signal well enough in the middle of the night. It's only ever missed
one or two setting times. I've had it since January 2012. I don't know
how it handles time zone changes. I would probably have to look in the
manual to figure out how to tell it.

Hi
The WV-58A at $28 takes care of the time zone thing pretty well. It's also
cheap enough to be a throw away if it's damaged. Since it's pure digital,
it's really not going to meet the "I need a second hand" requirement...

There are many Wave Ceptor LCD versions such as WVM120J-1 (about $27) or
WV59A-1AV (about $49) that might not have the spin issue.....

The waveceptor's are okay but I can't wear mine much because I tend to
cross timezones a lot. The hands only run in one direction so when
going to the west, it has to spin 11 hours forward. This takes 20
minutes. I guess it's one way to kill time on an airplane.

I have a $49 Casio Wave Ceptor, white face black numerals, analog hands
including second hand, date, alarm and WWVB syncing in the middle of the
night. Only had to replace the battery once and it ticks are closer than I
can discern when comparing to WWV @ 10or 15 Mhz.
