I think it is OK. If you watch close you will see that sometimes the clock fails to decrease by 1 second and then next time it will decrease by 2 seconds. I think the program is just not updating the clock on every tick but keeps time very accurate. Just put it on 5 hours / move or something like that and time it with your watch for 5 minutes. I think you will see that it's clock will be accurate for 5 minutes within the 1 second occasional skip. Jim Walker
