Ok, this may be a total bonehead newbie question but how do you test accuracy?

Do you simply use a world time source on the web such as...http://www.time.gov and only worry about the second hand as hopefully you are not runnig +- 60 secs/ day.  Set it and check back in 24 hours or is there a better way?

I use my G-Shock to test my watches accuracy. I also have a atomic clock in the house I can use too. But you can use the online source too. ;)

There are more professional pieces of equipment designed for the task.

Unless you want to invest in a timing machine get yourself a watch which will synchronize with the atomic clock and use that as your absolute time keeper. Set your watch to this source and you're off...;)
