   You're missing MY point. How does a few seconds accuracy on a watch make any   
    difference in normal non-geek folks everyday life. It doesn't. But then my   
    current battery powered watch has mechanical hands on it and hasn't needed   
    to be reset since I bought it ($6 US Amazon) so maybe it's     as accurate   
    as yours. Never know...   
      
   This is a first post on my new ONN 7" tablet. A PITA to type on so this will   
    likely also be my last post on this toy ..
