I’m getting there but I can’t believe this is still not a solved problem:

smart watch synchronous time
home automation hub keeps time over programmable switch
kitchen clock is an Alexa accessory so time is synched
microwave is “efficient”, meaning I can’t get the damn clock to stay on
expensive coffeemakers don’t have clocks

“Atomic” and Ethernet clocks exist but why is there still so little variety and are not in appliances? I just got a decorative clock and spent way too much time looking for an atomic or Ethernet one that I liked before settling on one I have to set twice a year plus whenever the batteries die

Yes, it's a solved problem. Just don't put clocks on ever damning single appliance.

why is there still so little variety

Every appliance is built by the same local company that buys all the components (including firmware) from the same Chinese company.
