Watch it. Those clocks on the cell phones are consistently slow compared 
to a WWVB watch. The time clocks where I work which have a phone 
connection to an (real deal) atomic clock are one second slow compared 
to my WWVB watch. At the end of the day I supply a countdown taking into 
account the one second off. The second off is due to digital delay in 
the system. It's about like having my own time clock except I can't 
punch in or out with the watch. Can't have EVERYTHING!

But you are right about the plentiful number of clocks around, most 
being less than a minute off, usually slow. For years I didn't wear a 
watch until I got a WWVB watch. I was never happy with watches until I 
got that one due to inaccuracy. I want my watch to be exact. (OK, less 
than half a second off)
