      It is 14 seconds slow. +/- 1 second.

          I just synched with my ISP's time server ... it is 18 seconds slow.

            How do you know the ISP time server is correct?

                I just checked it against my wife's timer on the cooker.

                One of them is 5hrs 58min 59 sec out

                  It isn't.

                  My watch is correct. To the sub-second.

                  My ISP's time server is 18 seconds slow.

                  The CUK server is 15 seconds slow.

                    Which I reckon is about 16 seconds slow ...

                    ... I think I might need a new watch.
