We have had great success with the TimeMachines TM1001A. Simple, robust, and over several years we’ve had zero outages 
on more than 40 installations. And unlike most of the competition, not ridiculously overpriced.

On one occasion, due to bad firmware or a configuration issue, I have
seen GPS stratum 1 diverge from NTP.  It was somewhat eye brow raising
to the company.  My NTP monitored servers were shown to be diverging
their GPS/NTP, but after looking at twice or thrice, it was the other
way around.
