I just scrolled down to the reviews and it seems others have similar problems after like a year or two? I got mine in 2009, so I guess it's lasted (it only started doing this maybe a month or two ago. Yeah I thought it would fix itself at some point overnight, but it hasn't...).
I bought an atomic clock so I would never have to set the time again. Just change the batteries. Having it read the wrong time all the time now...is...worse. ಠ_ಠ
Do you want them to be all the same? One time I made a world time display with all my spare cheap clocks (at a certain point you can get so many that you either have to put some away, or display them together somehow!) but I agree that having them all the same is rather more classy.
It's unfortunate IKEA doesn't make the SKARP anymore, which had a flat glass lens. Walmart used to sell this clock which had a flat glass lens. Target has similar ones. Muji has some nice clean clocks but they're not particularly cheap.
I recommend you get clocks without a second hand, or remove the second hand if it comes with one – it will make the ticking quieter (less load on the mechanism), and you won't get annoyed when the clocks inevitably fall out of sync. Or you could avoid the sync problem by getting vintage electric clocks (which will stay in sync because they get their timing from the power company), or radio-controlled clocks (but these are pricey and limited in the zones they can display).
Hope that's of some help!
It's "fall back" so no, don't set your clock forward. Or be a smart guy and buy a clock that automatically syncs with the atomic clock network.
