A man with two clocks is never sure of the time… unless each clock is connected to the Internet. This site
will tell you the time within 0.3 seconds of the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s master clock. That’s close enough for most people outside of Switzerland. In that country men are known to break into fist-fights over the correct time.
Microsoft uses NIST’s clock to keep accurate time on the Microsoft time servers (time.windows.com). You can synchronize your computer with one of these servers. By doing this, your computer’s clock will be adjusted to the correct time each day. Here are instructions to set this up on your computer.
This won’t help with your wrist watch, but it will keep all your computers in sync.
TSPY=0.0000000003 and one fist-fight each year
Time is very important on a network. From my own experience with Windows Domains, it is crucial. If you are on a windows domain, at work or at school, your time is set by the central domain controller for that network. So, if that machine is not set to get its time from a reliable NTP Server (Time Server), all the clocks on the domain will be off. Depending on the version of the Windows network, and your permissions on it, you may be able to change the time. A word of caution, if you change it too much, you may not be able to log on to the network. As each client logs into a domain, a time check is performed, if it is off by too much, it will deny your client access to the network.
