Apple claims the Apple Watch is four times (4x) more accurate than the iPhone. Not only does Apple Watch source time information from 15 different Stratum-1 level time servers around the world, but the device compensates for latency to ensure that every Apple Watch is perfectly synchronized.
Apple Watch hardware includes a crystal temperature-control oscillator, which compensates for exposure to extreme temperatures to reduce drift. The Apple Watch will diverge from Stratum-1 accuracy by 50 milliseconds or less.
