Triple date, today was +1 sec from DST change...
In Response To: smp +4 sec/week, how about yours? ()

Normally, it varies from +1 in the morning to -1 in the evening. I do not mean "it gains one second every day" but it is "one seconds ahead from where I set it on last DST change 3 months ago". Usualy it cancels overnight prefectly for daily loss.

Ocassionaly it changes behaviour one or two nights or days. In all occurences, change was to almost perfectly keeping during the day or the night. It was up to -4 and +4 from set time. But in a week or two, it returns to normal pattern without touching the crown.

I understand that it would not loose any time over the day if I was extremely active, but I can not understand what happends over night since on some nights it does not gain anything instead of close to 2 seconds. Also, it almost never happens on the same day that nigh and day do noghing :)
