    Default Which clock is right?

    The one on my computer or the one on my phone?

    I am only curious because I am kinda superstitious about numbers. (I like to make a wish at 11:11 and such. Also new horoscope starts at midnite.)

    Ok, although you're computer should keep accurate time.... the cellphone is your best bet (as long as you have it on Autoupdate time/date)

    He is right. I'd trust the cell phone time. Windows keeps track of time in a way that can gain/lose time and requires periodic re-adjustments against another clock.

    I always swear by my cellphone clock. I set my computer by it, but I usually don't have to change my computer clock very often.

    I just checked my roommates phone and hers won't let her either...and she spent way more on hers than I did..lol guess if you spend that much money on a phone they consider it doing you a favor not to have to ever think about setting a time lol

    I have like 3 clocks at work -- one on the computer, one on the phone, and one on the wall. They all have different times. I just end up taking the average of all of them.

    Most cellphones are on satellite time so that's the most accurate.
