    Default Does your clock keep good time?

    The one on my previous '11 was very accurate but the one on my '14 gains quite a bit, something like 4-5 mins every couple months. I know this isn't a big deal, but out of curiosity, are any of you having the same problem?

    I was going to say this, butt, you beat me to it. I have a "Seiko" quartz clock mounted where the temp gauge was. Much better.

    My 2010 didn't keep accurate time.
    I'll watch out for the 2014 and see what happens.

    Mine works almost as well as the ambient temperature indication right next to it. They are small things, but wish I could just have the option to turn them off if they are going to present wrong information all the time.

    I have also noticed a slight gain. A couple minutes a month or so. The 2014 is driven every day. The 2011 driven two to three times a week.

    When the batteries are put on tender for winter--they are also a couple minutes fast after the six month sleep.

    Mine is tracking my phone exactly since I took delivery, but that was only two weeks ago.

    Well, it certainly looks like I'm in good company, in that the majority of clocks run fast!
