Best phone app to check time

As the title states what’s the best app to check time, the few I have DL don’t update constantly it’s like every minute or so, I have an iPhone.

Want to use the app to check accuracy of time over several days

Thanks

Watchville is perfect for that with the gong to unhack.

None of them as they only develop {CCTS} constant checking time syndrome.Just check time once or twice a week with any accurate time source and adjust if over a minute out weekly,doubt if anyone life today is run to the exact second..

Watchville or WatchTracker, I have both. Watchville is nice in that it gives a “chime” during the final five seconds at the end of the minute.
WatchTracker lets you keep a record of your accuracy.

Padi56 as always simple logic eludes me and you are correct my life will go on even if I’m late by 1-2 mins a week

I like the way this app looks and I just need to settle in on one method to compare to

Padi56 I just like your insightful attitude, you are correct my life is not down to the exact second so my plan is to use say “Watchville” and once a week just do a quick compare to see if it’s consistent and try to self regulate by adjusting the resting positions but from my limited research the resting positions on modern Rolexes are not affected by the crown up/down or face up/down

Agreed.

But a cool app is Emerald Geneva. It's watch that takes the time from your phone. Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but fun to check out all the features and learn about them.
