Hello Alexey, Sorry about the delay in getting back to you! I just tried updating and checking the difference between my computer timestamp and the updated value timestamp and the difference was within 1 or 2 seconds, not hours.
Can you try printing the value of "entry.getUpdated()" to check if the string representation makes sense. Also, what version of the client library are you using?
