http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-zone/europe/european-union/ireland/time/ Have a look at the way this jumps 5 seconds every now and then. Anyone got any good apps or links to test the accuracy of a watch?

Any use to you? http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/twixt-time-evaluate-the-accuracy-of-your-watch-right-on-your-iphone

There is another one called watch tracker or something like that, but you need to tap the screen to get the measurement, which to me sounds a bit flawed.

The time on your link isn't skipping seconds for me, but it is a bit jerky at times. It seems to be set to update every second, so any slight delay in the browser will make the change of seconds seem a bit off occasionally.
