   I think we need some more specifics here.   
      
   Let us go from the normal situation and then try to expand it to your   
   specific request.   
      
   The normal situation is that the computer has its own internal clock   
   chip, and conventionally sync/s itself w/ online NTP, whereas the   
   'normal' situation for devices such as phones get their time sync/s from   
   GPS + cell towers.   
      
   One would infer from your question that in your perception or analysis   
   of the quality of timekeeping by your device's clock chip, you want to   
   'enhance' its accuracy w/o online NTP, but you haven't stated what kind   
   of precision you want or why or 'how often'.
