My watch is a Casio Pathfinder (barometer,
altimeter, compass, and even keeps time!). It gets
updated every night via Colo WWV station -- unless
I turn on my TV converter from Time-Warner; then
it does not update, even if the converter is 10 ft
away.

This is beginning to sound like the saying that
the man with two wristwatches never knows what
time it is. Pick a 'time standard' that is
appropriate for you - Cellphone time or Atomic
clock as your time for skeds (those are quite
accurate) as well as the time standard from
WWV. The K3 clock can be reserved for those
times when access to those other time standard
sources are not available (such as Field Day and
other similar occasions).
The K3 RTC depends on the crystal and the
associated capacitors. It is not a precision
device, but is more than sufficient for logging
purposes for outings where it is the main source
of time stamping - assuming it is set correct at
the beginning of the outing.
My Timex watch seems to be quite accurate - I
have not had to reset it in the last 3 months!
In other words, I would not depend on the clock
in the K3, KX3 or the K2 to be more accurate
than my Timex. The need for time precision to
the second is overrated IMHO - logging QSOs to
the nearest minute seems to be acceptable,
accuracy to the second is not required for
logging purposes.

My K3 clock loses about 9 seconds per day. This
is not quite as bad as Arlen's clock, but it is
still annoying. I run quite a few skeds and
nets and I like to be spot on time.
