I was under the impression most (all?) Arduinos do NOT have an RTC.
There are a few Launchpads which have it, particularly the 128k FRAM
MSP430 one with the LCD display.  That's an attractive board for a
number of reasons and I'll probably get one sometime.

Arduinos are easy to program, they have a large hardware and software
ecosystem, the cpus are available in DIP format for convenient soldering
and breadboarding, they have wide voltage tolerance, etc.  That all
said, ARMs have much more compute power at comparable cost.
