   Even quite cheap clock modules like the DS3231 are able to keep the time   
   with less than 15 seconds per month. 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.
