dixter$10 desk clocks have had date tracking for decades. You set it along with the tome, it increments a day each 24hr. No "data" from anywhere needed, hell I'd call needing that a pointless overcomplication bound to not work once whatever service it relies on dies.

EdTheNerdthe ones you describe are not reliable for time as the real time circuit isn't being updated by the data... a real Nixie desk clock will use either a GPS puck or pull the data from the internet.... that was the reason for my question to the supplier... glad you think you have a grasp on this item... All of my nixie clocks run without having to set the time/date because they gather data properly... even an iphone relies on the internet....

For even less you can get an *actual* nixie tube clock on amazon that doesn't have a HUGE ugly as sin logo right on the front instead of this silly fake stuff. You won't be waiting until the end of October either.

I must say this is one of the least attractive of these devices that are sold on other sites not to mention costly compared to others. That big branded logo on the front is just wrong.
