Time is off when disconnected
Verification
- [x] I searched for similar issues (including closed issues) and found none was relevant.
Introduce the issue
When infinitime is disconnected from the bluetooth application, the time gets off and is either too fast or too slow. It also won't update the time while it is connected.
Preferred solution
If you can make sure a minute is exactly 60 seconds, maybe it wouldn't be off. Also, make it so it updates the time every time it is connected.
Version
1.15.0
I have automatic time synchronisation in my companion app (Gadgetbridge) disabled and I get a few seconds per week of drift (which is what is expected for a crystal like the one in the PineTime).
Are you sure you're experiencing clock drift and not some other issue? What companion app are you using
Also, what do you mean by "it won't update the time while it is connected"?

@mark9064 I get drift. Also, what I mean that even though it is connected to the application, it won't update the time.
I also get serious drift problems. Why can't a minute be exactly 60 seconds? Smartwatches should be more accurate.
Could you test this? Disable bluetooth on the watch, and note the exact time (with seconds) and also the wall clock time. Then 24 hours later, note the exact time along the wall clock time again. This information would allow the drift rate to be determined
I don't have a wall clock that shows seconds.

I don't have a phone; I am running the companion app on an old iMac that was altered to run Ubuntu.

Which means I can't always sync it.

Did you manage to test it? If you've got time synchronisation off and it definitely still drifts, then you might be unlucky and have a faulty timekeeping crystal. Otherwise there could be an issue with bluetooth providing stale time syncs. Drift for me is still around 0.5s/day (i.e. what's expected for a crystal oscillator), so I'm reasonably confident that the software timekeeping itself is accurate
