Yep your is the one that's out, I've never seen a watch yet synchronised to a NTP time reference.

Before posting did you ask yourself was this a question or answer that would benefit the site support forum?

No you do not need to type a reply! Thankyou!

I'm on +11 now (+10 and Daylight saving correction) Sunday forums times was all screwy and ended up doing a +12 GMT locality. NTP stands for Network Time Protocol? Does this explain constant 6 mins time difference?

My computer is syncronised with Windows time server, my watch is syncronised with Cityrail clocks, and phone is syncronised with an SMS time stamp. There all showing the same time.

Cityrail Clocks - Muhahaha! The forum does update to DST, I think everyone can live with with any offsets without undue fear or stress.

Frequency of the servers update to NPT may/may not be under admin control, suffice to say the timestamps will never be greatly out.
