Need Help: Time Drifting?

My watch is set to my computer's time.

My phone is set to my watch's time.

My Mini is set to my phone's time.

My in-dash CD player (Pioneer MP7400) is set to my Mini's time.

My computer, watch, and phone are all in sync. The CD player is 5 minutes faster, and the Mini is 10 minutes faster.

I'm a bit wierded out by the timepieces in the Mini being off. Anyone seen anything like this before?

You're driving way too fast......with the radio turned up far too loud.

Get a quartz watch or one that syncs up with the Naval Observatory. That and ignore the Mini clock.

Yep, works for me... here's mine:

CASIO [WVA510DA - 2AV] - USA

Casio has a number of "Waveceptor" watches that get the EXACT time every day, from a radio transmission that eminates from Boulder, CO.

The reason I like THIS particular watch is that it is a Waveceptor AND a solar powered watch, yet still sophisicated enough to look decent for business meetings, etc. It doesn't look geeky, even if it's technology-laden. :smile:
