Re: How Do You Check the Accuracy of a Watch?

In Response To: How Do You Check the Accuracy of a Watch? ()

Rather than dealing with the time lag of a website and the hassle of trying to look at the watch and a refreshing screen at the same time, I use a short wave radio. Ft. Collins, Colorado (10000 kHz) broadcasts a tone every minute and by watching the second hand of my watch, I can easily check to a tolerance of one half a second. I go through this, just for fun, every morning, after work and before bed, and thus get a pretty good idea of how much I'm gaining.

Cheers
