Maybe one for the moderators to have a look at?

Don't know if this has been suggested before, but what about having a sticky with a link to a website with a known accurate/atomic clock?

Many of us look for a resource to accurately set our watches by and this would provide an easy to find site.

What about http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/, as all time is calculated from GMT?

As far as I can tell, this one looks to be pretty accurate and the time can be found for almost anywhere in the world.

What does everyone think?

I use time.gov

I use "time-a.nist.gov" as a time server for my computer clock. It is the official govt time server that is available to the public. When I want to set my watches I go to
"http://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/time/display-clocks/simpletime" which is the official time at the US Naval Observatory. They are as about accurate as you can get. BTW for those who desire absolute precision, it is unobtainable. Beside the lag time in processing by your brain to the movement of your hand, there is the lag time between the time server at USNO and your computer. However, they are as close as I can get.

What about the time at the top of every page on TRF? How accurate is this? Seems pretty accurate to me...
