I have always used the official US government website to set my watches:

http://time.gov/

I got my new Aerospace about a month ago directly from Breitling. It matched up with time.gov exactly. Now it seems to be about a 1/2 second slow. Considering this watch's accuracy is +/- 15 seconds per year, this is pretty good.

What do you all use to set the time on your watches?

Even though I live in the UK I use http://time.gov/ too (obviously with an adjustment for the hours!). It seems to be more reliable than the UK version.

I used to just use time.gov. Recently I've switched to the US Naval Observatory Master Clock:

http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/simpletime.html

I prefer this one to time.gov for a couple reasons:
  • No Flash. I originally started using the Navy clock on my cellphone, because Flash doesn't work for cells.
  • I've got zulu time right there with my US time zones, which is useful for some of the stuff I do.

Now, on my screen, I've just got time zones for the US. I don't know if it can be configured for other time zones around the world.

I use my G-Shock Wave Ceptor which automatically syncs with the broadcast stations.

Just set my Steelfish to this time and we'll see how it tracks for a few days...I've never tested this before...
