I have the same problem.
I have set the time manually using the following command in sys-whonix and
my anon-whonix AppVM:
user@host:~$ sudo date +%T -s "22:18:00"
which sets the time to my current local time (germany).
Strangely I still get an error message when running whonixcheck.
Why is there a message "NTP synchronized: no" ?
Shouldn't the time always be synchronized as we're running virtual machines?
user@host:~$ whonixcheck

It is generally recommended to keep the default as per Whonix Design. [1]
If you did not change timezone related settings, please report this Whonix
