alt Hacker NewsThis makes me wonder, if you take the average time of all wristwatches on the planet, accounting for timezones and throwing out outliers, how close would you get to NTP time?
And how many randomly chosen wristwatches would you need to get anything reasonable?

I have a hunch my casio wrist watch is designed to be running a bit too quick to make resetting the seconds easier. Your averaging assumes manufacturers try to make their watches as accurate as possible for average conditions

Close but unlikely to be precise in metrology sense. There's unlikely even a billion wrist watches being worn.

One. One watch. POTUS's watch. And in fact, that's why Boulder is currently shuttered... they disagreed.
You’re the person Douglas Adams warned us about.
