What time is it, really?

Hello fellow satellite fans:
The question of "What time is it?" is very important for making accurate
satellite observations but isn't very easy to answer. I've seen ads for
so-called "atomic clocks" that are available from Radio Shack and elsewhere
which are synchronized with low frequency time signals. Many of these
don't even have a 'seconds' display or can't be set to UTC. Does anyone
know of a really good one suitable for satellite observations? An accuracy
of 0.1 second or better would be nice. I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks.
Lee
