Not a watch, but a watch containing device:

I am running a long-ish term study on the behavior of real time clock in wp34s calculator.

There is a data collected so far in the bottom of the message, to show what I mean.

I am also developing a program for it to work with the realtime clock.
In "chronometer mode" when you press a command button it applies correction to the current value of realime clock based on todays date, rate of drift and date of last zeroing (last 2 are stored in battery backed up memory register)

So far this correction routine works prety good: I still use the rate I determined within first week of the experiment and my corrected time is within 1 second from the UT few months later.

Similar approach may be used with more traditional ti89, hp50, etc., but I really like wp34s's compact frame and quaint feel, so I carry it around all the time.
