John, It truly is about as basic of a clock as you can get. Yes, it's almost impossible to set the seconds accurately. I'm sure it's why Jeff came out with his NixiSat/NixiChron/GPSII series of clocks which were a big improvement in features and functionality.
I like it mostly because it was Jeff's first design and what started it all for his Nixie endeavors.
