How many minutes off is your clock ?

Post by 808 Vibes »

Mine (the Monsoon 6 CD option) was off by 5 or 6 minutes, I set it correctly, and it's still off. :x Note to self: the next time I bother to set it to the "correct" time, I should set it for two minutes ahead. :lol:

My bathroom clock is fast by who knows how many minutes. My car clock isn't even used. I wear a watch I synced to my school clocks, but my Vibe clock should be dead-on. That's a weird thing with the factory Vibe radio, though. Even if you set the time right, it'll be off within a week. It's happened a few times back when I had my OE radio.

The clock in my '09 Vibe gains time. Maybe a minute or so per month.

I use the radio signal update feature and find that it is usually pretty accurate between updates.

The 2005 Moon & Tunes single CD unit allows you to use an FM radio station that is broadcasting time info (i.e., radio display shows "INFO" lit) to update the clock by pressing and holding the HR & MN buttons at the same time.

My Kenwood reads 60 minutes late, because I forgot how to set the clock when we sprang forward for spring.

Mine keeps time almost perfectly. Maybe falling behind close to or one minute in a six month time period.

Similar here, but might be closer to 4-5 months. Stock radio w/ CD player.

It works... may be off a minute or two either way. Don't know for sure as I haven't compared it to anything other then the clock at work.

By the time it's time to change the clocks, I'm off by a good 10 minutes. Never fails.
