Be sure to post your result. Five years ago I regularly checked my
Casio LED watch which was holding 0.3 seconds per week.  It always
worked properly.   Perhaps we should report this to Trump so he can
fire the head of NIST.

I checked it on two different computers and again just now, all were
counting 5+ seconds slow.  I then downloaded their flash app which as
an option I never had to do and that was correct.  Both of the apps
claim to be adjusted for network delay.

This was around 14:00Pacific.  I just checked again and both apps are
now correct.  I’ll have to dig into the issue.
