Re: Setting correct time .. or trying to ....
: Living in the US I use the National Standards of Institute and
: Technology Atomic clock out of Fort Collins Colorado. I have it
: loaded into my Apple. It is generally 0.2 to 0.3 seconds
: accurate. That allows for the time lag between the actual time
: and transmission of same. I guess. Then I am always faced with
: the problem of when to depress the crown and how much time lag
: occurs during that function. I come close but my watch is always
: starting off too fast or slow. Our watches lack that all
: important function which the atomic clock has, the ability to
: correct it self. When the Swiss or German or Japanese figure out
: that little problem we will have the perfect watch.
They did correct that problem. They installed a crown to reset the time with. ;-)
It's a mechanical watch, it's never going to be as accurate as an atomic/digital/quartz watch. And frankly, unless you work for NASA (I'm sure they'll hook you up with someting if you need atomic time) you probably don't need your watch to be that accurate anyway.
