If a smartwatch deviates 3 seconds       or more per day I would consider this a very bad design. I know, that       Oleewatch modules are also very bad with this - but they are only using       a micro controller without a dedicated clock module with temperature       compensation and are designed to synchronize the time via Bluetooth       multiple times a day. Maybe this is also the case for Fitbit.                     --       Arno Welzel       https://arnowelzel.de              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
