Whilst it maybe doesn’t need to be accurate, I have had an oven that wouldn’t turn on if you didn’t set the time…

Haha, oh wow that sucks. I’m sure most of those units are all set to 12:00AM by mashing the OK button after every power outage.

That would be amazing. Same with clocks for that matter.

That said, do these radio signals contain the exact time for that timezone or is it more of a synchronization signal that goes "it is now exactly 0 minutes, 0 seconds" once an hour? Since the image shows that the signal crosses some timezone boundaries.

The last few ovens we've had do that too. I assume it's something to do with the delayed start function which I never use...
