Re: Using your Treo to check time
In Response To: Using your Treo to check time ()

So, I just programmed that number for the USNO Clock into my treo. Man that is very cool. I love how it keeps reading the time every 5 or 10 seconds. The local hawaii time number just says the number once and then beeps. Kind of hard to sync the watch to that, but this USNO number is soo easy to sync to. And it doesn't require me to look at two things at once.

I think I'll be checking the accuracy a few set times of theday like how you do. That sounds a hwole lot more reasonable than my numerous numerous spot checks throughout the night. Maybe comparing 'apples-to-apples' will be better for me than freaking out because my watch just gained 3 secs during the past 9 hours at work... Maybe this is a stupid noob question, but is the speed/rate of the watch dependant on the wearing it vs. sitting in one position on a table? Because, based on my non-scientific random spot checks of the watch, it seems to gain time faster on my wrist (from late evening until noon time) than sitting on a table (from around noon when i sleep until late evening when i wake up)... ahh well, lets see what happens when i'm measuring accuracy at consistant times from now on...

merry christmas... happy hannukah.... and a happy festivus to the rest... :)
