Watch it. Those clocks on the cell phones are consistently slow compared
to a WWVB watch. The time clocks where I work which have a phone
connection to an (real deal) atomic clock are one second slow compared
to my WWVB watch. At the end of the day I supply a countdown taking into
account the one second off. The second off is due to digital delay in
the system. It's about like having my own time clock except I can't
punch in or out with the watch. Can't have EVERYTHING!
But you are right about the plentiful number of clocks around, most
being less than a minute off, usually slow. For years I didn't wear a
watch until I got a WWVB watch. I was never happy with watches until I
got that one due to inaccuracy. I want my watch to be exact. (OK, less
than half a second off)
