Traffic master clock - yay or nay?

The standard clock in my ZS has a problem with the digits not always displaying fully.

I was going to get a Traffic master clock to replace it with, but searching the internet it seems that firstly they don't work anymore! And secondly they seem to have a habit of resetting themselves or losing time, so maybe one to avoid?

Opinions?

Pointless buying the clock to take advantage of Traffic Master, seeing as the vast majority is turned off, so just buy a normal one.

Cheers

Yip as mentioned traffic master is now defunct, looks better than normal clock though
As slightly larger display
I would only change it if your current clock loses segments.

Roger that, good point!

Is there any sort of aftermarket alternative? Something which has a temp gauge or anything like that?

Something like this would be better http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-Auto-L...item51b5f2fef0
But would check sizes etc to mount straight into the gap.

Seen it done in a ZR, not with this exact clock though but similar
just need to get one closest matching the size, as clock is mounted behind a recess it shouldn't be too hard and would need to make sure if it has multiple function buttons that they are on the front for ease of access to reset time etc.
