No, time offset could be verified by me ...
... only with restarts or when turning it off. Interestingly, it offsets backward, most often 3-10 minutes. No relation to timezones , as stated earlier.
For example: time set is 9.21 pm, restart, time suddenly is 9.18 pm. Turning on WiFi doesn't change anything - I could browse the net for hours without anything happening to the time.
I updated to 3.03 (The hacks for 3.02 aren't really that tempting, so that was not a big thing to give up on.) Since I didn't use Kindle collection manager any more for the last few days, I didn't do any more restarts and I also stopped turning it off. I only turned it to standby and am continously checking the time now. Until now, it's keeping the correct time.
Regarding the Customer Service: Yeah, but at least it was a run around without waiting for hours in a expensive international call and they were very polite about it. As long as nothing worse happens, I'm good - I want to read and not use it as a watch ... and if it turns worse: Amazon CS said they pick up shipping costs for faulty units.
