Time Synchronisation

I've been trolling the WWW for a time source with which to synch my watches in order to check for accuracy.

This is in the absence of radio broadcasts and other media.

I've been using the Hong Kong Observatory web page which provides a good indicator of what the Observatory clock is doing vs the Mac/PC clock. My Mac clock is currently running +1 consistently over the Observatory clock, and my 16610 is +1.6 a day after 11 days .

Please share if and how do you check your time on the WWW.

Thanks in advance.

I also use time dot gov.

I know other members like Time and Date.

And there's a third one mentioned here sometimes, but I don't remember the name and it's not bookmarked on my office computer.
