[QUOTE="kingfish, post: 4180134, member: 50496"] I am somewhat OCD when it comes to keeping accurate time. Every clock I have in my house is what is commonly referred to as an "atomic clock". They are in reality just clocks that have a radio receiver built into them which receive the WWV time signal broadcasts and sync themselves each night. There are watch manufacturers that have incorporated this technology into watches so they are pretty much set and forget. I have one watch that syncs its time from GPS satellites so it is said to be accurate to within 1/100 second. Even if not synced for a month (kept indoors where it can't receive the satellite signal) it is accurate to within 1 second. So you can get very accurate wrist watches without huge price tags.
