I have a watch on my wrist and a clock on the wall. Both synch to WWVB. They use chips to do this. The silicon in the watch came out about 4 years ago. The chip in the clock is about 7 years old. The watch chip is now obsolete and has been replaced by a newer one. I have not taken a hammer to a newer clock to see what they are now using. New chips for WWVB are very much being actively designed all the time. They integrate a *lot* of functions in the chip beyond a simple receiver.
