Does not wearing the watch affect its accuracy?

Modern PCs with network access usually know how to lookup SNTP servers to sync their time to your locale, update DST etc etc... could be worth checking if it's set to do it regularly & it's pointed to a live site. (I give mine a list of 3-4 SNTPs to choose from, but yeah I'm an abnormal geek)

Reason I mention it is the PC might be adjusting its time without you knowing. You've set your watch to PC, watch could be accurately keeping time but PC has since self-adjusted it's timeclock = Infinite loop of error.


Plus you probably didn't notice I mentioned "a BANK of Casios" on my desk. To be precise there's FOUR of them that never get worn, all they do is keep time... they're vintage, they don't have satellite sync modcons. I personally sync them to the second together... yet after a few mths they too fall out of sync!!

Jeez if Quartz digitals can't even keep time...
