Time.is is friendly to mobile devices. It uses minimal bandwidth and the design is adapted to small screens.
Precision - synchronized with atomic clock time
Time.is is synchronized with an atomic clock - the most accurate time source in the world.
The displayed time will normally have a precision of 0.02-0.10 seconds.
The precision depends on your internet connection and how busy your computer is.
What makes Time.is exact
Time.is displays the time for your detected (or chosen) location, not the time according to your computer's clock.
The server which hosts Time.is is synchronized to atomic clock time.
Time.is adjusts to DST (Daylight Saving Time) even if your computer clock doesn't.
Time.is is always updated with the latest information about DST transitions and time zone modifications.
The displayed time is not just updated once a second, but at the beginning of every second.
Many web clocks, and even the clock of some operating systems, will update the seconds at an arbitrary time within the second, and will drift when the computer is busy, causing jumps of two seconds when the drift has accumulated to a second.
If you adjust your computer clock, Time.is will issue a resynchronization.
Time.is is hosted on a modern, quick, dedicated server, which delivers the requested page in minimum time.
The code for Time.is is trimmed and light-weight, thus eliminating latency caused by the time it takes for the page to load and render.
Synchronization via Ajax ensures maximum accuracy.

Time Zone Database
Time.is relies on time zone data from the IANA Time Zone Database. We always strive to keep Time.is updated with the latest version of the IANA Time Zone Database. When the IANA Time Zone Database has not caught up with the latest time zone developments, we apply our own temporary patches.
Time.is is currently using version 2018g of the IANA Time Zone Database (with no patches). Last update: 2018-11-06
