And that signal itself has DST bits encoded so whenever DST moves around these can stay current. You can even get watches that can do WWVB. So cool!

Depending on the time of year and location in the house you may never let it go completely out either as they also heat well.

When is your then?
Have your ever read about appliances ever? Using old appliances that still work here checking in. Not upgrading because everyone I know that has, theirs has died. Some friends can solder their stove back together. Had an old washing machine engineer that had to work at Home Depot because hail capitalism tell me to buy an admiral washing machine and dryer because they were the last of a working generation of functionality.
New ovens die in less than a year. Rental house with a dishwasher a few months old dies. Repair tech saying “keep this old machine because it works.” Look up people still using 1940s fridges today. Appliances in America today are trash.

Planned obsolescence. Most modern US appliances fail in the first few years fairly consistently.

I live near the antennas normally. I went to the southern east coast of America and my WWVB watch was able to sync from them daily without incident fwiw.
