No. It shows the same time that the clock in your computer is set to. I use www.accurist123.com.

This is a good one Dave.
Good luck and don't worry. If your watch is damaged it is reparable (migth be a little regulation issue ).

Hang on. You can't just say "No". If your computer is on a corporate network then ( 99% of the time ( otherwise it causes network issues ) all client computers ( like the one on your desk ) are synchronised to a time server on the network which will be synchronised with an atomic time server on the internet. Be aware that there will be some lag ( we're talking nanoseconds )but there will also be lag when viewing the time on a web site - probably more. So, the clock on your screen in which case will be the most accurate there is.

I dont think it matters which source you use so long as you use the same one consistently. I always set my Sub by the hourly time pips they broadcast on BBC Radio. I listen on a Digital radio which is actualy broadcast ahead of (or behind) the conventional analogue broadcast by a second or two. As long as you track your watch by a consistent method.
