First, in most embedded systems, “a buck fifty” is a lot of money. Then you need to have an interface free on the main controller. You need an extra 32768Hz quarz. And you usually use a seperate battery (usually a mercury cell) to feed it to avoid complicated power routing issues.
But those take several minutes from power on to showing the time. Which might irritate the user.
Maybe if he took his medication, he could be a normal person.
