Here's a handy TIME Check:

If your computer needs a time check more than once a week, it’s probably time for a new computer, or maybe motherboard battery.
I’ve tried ‘em all and after no end of timeouts and connection failures, the best always-works app for users is www.timesynchtool.com You synch to a pool of NTP servers, let their sysadmins all over the world sync with NIST. The above tool automatically demotes servers experience connection problems so you’re always using the best one for your location.
I've suggested Dimension 4 from ThinkingMan software. Been very happy with it.

Freeware for personal use.
Use software from the “Chaos Software Group” that has an unlimited supply of juvenile exclamation points? I think I will take a pass on this opportunity!!!! No thanks!!!
Besides, I use a Mac.

Doesn’t Windows already have this built in? The time always seems right on.
On the download program page, it states that it supports Windows 8 .... not windows 10.
Some people who work in the sciences need accurate time, really, really accurate time.........................
I knew that was gonna be that!.............................
I tried it out on Windows 10, seems to wok....................
Windows syncs to ‘Internet Time’ that it gets from your service provider’s server clock. Of course, if you have no external internet connection, your computer’s clock just runs in its own little world..........
Yes. You already have that utility on your computer.
Don’t accidentally configure yours to Atomic Wedgie.
Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care? (Chicago)
“Of course, if you have no external internet connection, your computer’s clock just runs in its own little world”
Well doesn’t your Atomic Clock Sync also require an Internet connection to get the time?
Well, yeah, I’m just saying that with no way to sync to the outside world, your computer clock will run fast or slow progressively unless you manually update it. Computer’s internal clocks are terrible without the sync........................
Sure... step into our van little girl we have candy!
