Thanks for the suggestions, but the MFJ121 does not display the date and the Lacrosse 8055 and 8016 do not display seconds. I need hour minutes seconds day and date. You wouldn't think that would be so hard. It looks like my only choice is this smallish "wall" clock (more like a desk clock):
How about a cheap Android tablet and a clock application? I assume you're planning on AC power, since LEDs won't run long on battery.
Sellout.woot.com has a $60 tablet, and it's not hard to find them under $100. According to the manual, "If Sero 7 connected with a Wi-Fi, you can also select use network-provided time." While not strictly WWVB, if you only need 1 second resolution, NTP should be fine. This also assumes you have WiFi available.
You can probably find a 10" one for <$100. If you stretch, I've seen refurb 1st gen iPads for $150 (pretty sure these can do NTP, too). The real cheap tablets tend to have poor digitizers, but that really doesn't matter for use as a wall clock.
