243ack Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Recently been checking the consistency (accuracy) of a newly acquired Aqua Terra Seamaster and am finding a considerable difference between the BBC 'pips' (on DAB), GMT on Google search and the 'clock' on my smartphone. Which one is 'real'?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brown dog Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 DAB is way off; if you can get an analogue signal, the beeps are spot on. Most accurate time is from gps - download a simple gps app to your phone. However, for ease, I use https://time.is/ which is as near perfect as I'll ever need. For longer term timechecks, I use https://toolwatch.io/measures - which seems pretty foolproof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1066 Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 I have a couple of "radio" clocks that self correct. They used to pick up the time signal from Rugby but I think the transmitter has now moved. Ones a Junghans Mega and the other is a cheap Aldi digital clock cost about £7 - Perfect time and resets automatically when the clocks change. I've also got a GPO electric master clock (pendulum) that sent the signals for the speaking clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
