I use www.time.gov and will compare it to my timepieces about once a month. ~Brian |

Let me further add that you can bookmark the Navy Clock on your fancy phone, and it'll work. Time.gov doesn't work on smartphones, 'cause it's Flash-based, and Flash doesn't work on phones for no good reason. |

Plus, time.gov has the feature of letting you how how accurate the reading is based on your connection speed. I get mine to "within 0.2 sec." and have had it as bad as 3 sec or so off when the site or my connection are slow. With the other sites you have no idea how well synced you are. |

What is the +/- tolerance for B1 per month (or year)? |

I've never seen time.com worse than 0.3 seconds off, but if it were 3 seconds, that would be pretty significant. I would want to know that before setting my clocks by it, or checking the accuracy of my atomic clock. Interestingly, I compared my atomic clock, my Sprint cell phone, and my TAG Heuer quartz side by side with time.com when it was within 0.2 seconds, and all three changed within blinking time of each other. (I had set the TAG by the atomic clock maybe a week earlier.) Conversely, my computer's clock is off by about three seconds. |

Ive got sprint as well and my atomic clock, time.gov, and phone all change within a second or so. |
