Going back to the original topic...
A quartz monitor is a "must-have" accessory, if you have a lot of digitals, or just want to keep the ones you use keeping perfect time. With one of these, you can adjust a watch to a second-a-month in less than minute, and bypass days or even weeks of hit-and-miss guesswork. I have a Pulsar Analyzer, of course (mostly as a Pulsar-related collectible, but still working!), and I've also got four of the Zantech Monitors (three Model 1000s and one 1100). I picked these up on eBay years ago (a couple for less than $50 each), and they have saved me no end of effort getting unadjusted, 35+ year-old LEDs back to factory spec timekeeping. They still show up on eBay once in a while, and are a good investment (though today's prices have escalated to the $150-200 range). The Model 800 Module Analyzer is also worth having, if you do a lot of troubleshooting on both LED and LCD movements.
