Hi

Against NTP, I noticed no measurable drift over the years that the clock ran for. It did have problems with the back up PSU which made the clock unreliable if it was powered down for too long. I never compared with GPS. The main comparison was against UK mains stability. In the short term there was noticeable differences but UK mains frequency is manipulated so in the long term it is dead on 50Hz so synchronous  clocks stay accurate.

The DS3232 is a fantastic chip and my choice also for clocks not linked to NTP or GPS.

Grahame - Have you been able to detect any drift/inaccuracy of the Rubidium timebase ? I would imagine that even comparing to GPS it would take months, and perhaps years, to notice any drift.

I was really surprised to see that a DS3232 in one of my devices worked out to be 6e-7 after 6 years.
