Hey Hal,
Symetricom need sales and investment in this product, to get back the R&D costs. I believe this is the first Gen? If they get the volume the price has to drop. However, It is a bit sucky marketing can get away with that. I wonder if they have good and bad CSAC a la Crystal oscillators or I haven't grasped the importance of this yet :) --marki -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Hal Murray Sent: Wednesday, 2 October 2013 9:54 AM To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement Subject: Re: [time-nuts] A readl atomic wristwatch [email protected] said: > That's the first time I have seen a practical explanation and working > example of a CASC in operation. Practical? What's the battery life? How accurately can you read a watch dial? How good are modern watches? How do crystals compare with mechanical? Where is the crossover point between watch accuracy and human read-it accuracy? Is that before or after the CASC watch runs out of battery? I suppose you could put it on the charger every night, next to your cell phone, but then I could make a crystal watch that connects to a "charger" stand that also sets the time. -- These are my opinions.
