Accurist clock, FWIW...

[Dan Newberry]

I caught the Accurist clock at http://accurist123.com/ running 5 seconds fast based on two atomic time sources I have in my home, as well as my 1680 Sub which has been pretty steady these days.

I checked my 1680 Sub with the Accurist site about 8 AM, EST today and thought my watch had lost 6 seconds overnight (it usually loses only a second or two in that time period, and stays pretty close the rest of the day)... but when I checked my watch with an atomic clock and another very accurate source, I found that Accurist was at fault.

The error seems to have been corrected now, though, as I just visited the Accurist site prior to this post.

If there's a moral here, it's that you shouldn't rely on only one presumed atomic source when checking or regulating your watch. ;)
