I've just had a look around the house, and actually have four MSF clocks and an old wristwatch minus its strap (antenna is a small ferrite rod inside). Forgot I had an old Junghans one as well - that is sitting out in the shed as it requires a stronger signal than the more modern ones, and seems to get better reception out there. It's the only one that shows MSF outages as it updates every hour - and the battery seems to last forever! I never checked to see how close that is to GPS; if they implement proper timing or just a simple delay bodge.
