We have two bedroom clocks that have 12v battery backup; they never lose time during an outage.
Now as for "smart clocks," how long would it be before they start reporting, on the sly, how often you look at the clock, prompting a conference with the boss? How long before the display of time "briefly" switches to an ad for the product your PC adblocker kept from displaying. Will your bedroom "clock" be able to see you and report all to the (insert gov't acronym here) spooks?
