Not to mention the amount of analog clocks that are just wrong. I work at a fortune 500 company, most clocks are digital and synced to a time server. Every analog clock is wrong. Just yesterday I walked through the cafeteria and glanced at the clock and it read 5:20... For a second I panicked and was like it can't be that late. I checked my phone, it was 3:06. The clock was just not set properly.

There are radio controlled clocks which theoretically shouldn't be wrong. At least as long as there isn't a battery or motor issue...

How do you tell whether you’re looking at a radio-controlled clock though?

Sometimes they have it written on the clockface. I don't think that's a general rule though.

In the same way there are digital clocks that can be wrong too though.
