   I would consider it *bad* if a watch is always 5-6 seconds off when it   
   connects via Bluetooth to a smartphone and could easily adjust it's time   
   then.   
      
   My Casio ABL100 is syncing its time 4 times a day with my smartphone and   
   it is always accurate within around 0.2 seconds.

   Yes - and a watch should show the exact time and not 5-6 seconds off.   
   Even cheap digital watches are able to do this.
