Is the clock time correct for you?

The constantly updating time in the Navigation and News box is probably more accurate than my watch, that I set a few days ago to within a second or two of the satellite time clock I have. For me, it displays spang-on to my wristwatch (ie, a second or two off); for Pacific Daylight Time zone users, I expect you find it very accurate. How about you Gruntzerz in other time zones? Does it display accurately for your time zone, or is it off by hours? I don't know enough Javascript to be able to read the code, to see if it somehow accesses each user's profile, to pick up the adjustment (in hours) from there. So I am curious: how good is this clock for everyone else?
