Seems like someone should do some unbiased research and determine just how
long it takes to find  clock drift, say to 2 ppm, using chrony with manual
corrections.  Finding a nice (efficient) method would be useful too.

With NTPd I might set the clock, wait a month check the time and create a
drift file.

Sometimes you have to examine a use case and conclude that it's poor return
on investment.  I think trying to discpline an uncharaterized oscillator
with a wristwatch is certainly marginal.
