If you had to be ready to step onto your train at EXACTLY noon, let's say, then under my example, all you would need to do is make sure that you are at your train, per your watch, 30 seconds early and you would be GUARANTEED of being their EXACTLY on time or, at worst, 60 seconds early.

Thanks a simple fix.

Nevertheless, if you actually need down-to-the-second precision, you better get an "atomic" quartz watch that gets the daily signals from the atomic clock in Boulder Colorado so that it is precisely on time (for a mere quartz may easily be 15 seconds too slow or too fast in any given month and thereby screw up your departure).
