In the nineties Junghans decided to introduce their products in the US.
Three products, a watch with stainless steel case and dial and LCD display,
antenna in the leather band, a Mega with 5 inch dial and LCD display and a
Mega with LCD only display. As part of the development effort they did a
series of tests through out the US on signal strength. Miami was one of those
locations. Since I knew senior management of their than parent company I was
asked to help with the logistics. I arranges beachfront accommodations on
Sunny Isles for a week and played tour guide. The result was that I ended
up with two each of the three products.
As I posted before they all work fine and one had a very bad battery, most
likely out of service for a month and after inserting a new battery it
synchronized.

I thought the Junghans Mega clock used DCF-77 rather than WWVB?

I have four 15 year old Junghans Mega clocks through out the house. Ten
days ago I noticed one of them dead. Battery, and by the look of the battery
dead at least a month. I inserted a new battery and it did set. I did not
watch it but today I went with one of them through the house and all are
exact within a second. Even advance the second as close as I am able to
observe. I am confident they synch daily.
