Also works for when I swap from beer to rum 馃槈
( sunrise to sunset its beer Northern Territory rule 馃槜 does surprise non locals when you crack a beer fishing at 6:21am in a crocodile infested river )

路I use time.gov. Not sure what it is, but time.gov is a fraction of a second earlier than time.is.

路I use my wife as a reference too. The slight difficulty is that there's a situational factor that I have to consider.
Let's say it's 10:22 but we're running late for something due to me. Then if I asked her for the time she would huff and tell me it's 10:30. But if it's 10:22, and were late, and she has some culpability, then it's going to be 10.22 or perhaps even 10:15.

路In a pinch I use the clock on my Garmin GPS unit. It's close enough for me and anything I need to be on time for.

路路惟F InvestiGatorI use Emerald Time for iPhone:
https://emeraldsequoia.com/et/index.html
Takes the average of 4 atomic clocks and shows you the difference between your phone鈥檚 clock and its computations.
Very easy to use.

路I have an atomic wall clock that I still check against Naval Observatory time on occasion. Everything else in my house is set off of that.

路I used the time.gov site which uses the Naval Observatory time.
Funny thing but the only noticable problem from Y2K was the Naval Observatory clock went cuckoo a bit.
My old Windows Mellennium once reset itself to sometime in 1856, which I would have thought was impossible. I had to rewrite the registry to cure it. I still have that old PC. I'd still use it if it was not now incapable of use on the net. I did use it to store and play files copied from CDs for awhile.
I've been considering dragging it out again to use some old scanners and printers I have that won't work with any of the more modern OS.

路I look at my IPhone 6s for the accurate time. My watch is 45seconds to one minute off per week.

路It's very handy knowing the exact time when you don't own a timegrapher and are trying to regulate a watch or clock.
