Have you ever though of getting wwv on a shortwave radio?
When I want accurate time I use this method and it's spot on.

Hi George and list!
It's been my experience that if before changing batteries, I
use the change batteries command (D+E+F), then change
batteries reasonably quickly, the date and time settings
hold reasonably close. If, however, I don't do that, date
and time will need to be reset once the new batteries are
installed. Others' experiences have varied a bit from this.
If I happen to be at home when I change batteries, I'll
usually attempt to double check the proxemity of the time
with WWV as I have entered it as a Skype out contact in my
contact list. When taking net lag into account, this means
my time might be as much as 5 to 10 seconds off. If on the
other hand, I am not at home when new batteries are
required, I attempt to use my cell phone to check or reset
the bookport. My cell phone is kept reasonably accurate by
syncing with the time on my bluetooth GPS receiver. Since I
use alarms on the bookport fairly extensively, it is
important that the clock maintain good setting.
Cheers,
Dave

I was wondering, when changing the batteries,
Do I need to reset date/time?
Kind Regards,
