Clock Radio Loosing Time

Has any one else had a problem with their clock not keeping time? Mine looses about 4-5 minutes a month.

I've had/have that problem.

I think I posted a thread about that and you should be able to search for it.

I think that mine is kinda random, at times I notice it is slow but at times it is fast. I think its probably some buggy programing or something. I've learned to only use the radio time as an approximation, if I want the real time I check my phone

I have a 2.4 LT, one of the first in SoCal and mine looses time too. My Rolex does as well, but it looks nicer doing it.
Has anyone tried to change the serpentine belt on their HHR? If so, I'd like to know the secret to getting the old one off and a new one on. If no one has tried yet, I'll keep searching.

Mine does also. Does it have anything to do with the day actually being longer than 24 hours? That's why we add an extra day every 4 years.

I'm very particular about time... I work at a hospital and if the pager goes off at 5:01 that's very different then it going off at 4:59

I have not noticed my time drifting on my 06 For the last 4 months it's been in synch with my watch (Victorinox, no Rolex but at least it's accurate ), my cell phone(s) my Blackberry and my pager...

A day is actually slightly shorter than 24 hours and is determined by the rotation of the Earth on its axis. We add a day every 4 years due to our orbit around the sun which actually takes a little longer than 365 days.

Somehow the image of someone getting out of an HHR wearing a Rolex seems rather odd. Screams rich Uncle or skewed up priorities.

I stand corrected! It you always need the exact time, getting an atomic clock. I hear they're the most accurate in the world.
