I didn't thought about this.

But you then need to be sure that device is shut off through script that enables that synchronization. And that can be a problem, as I witnessed on my device.

I constantly was getting my clock 3 minutes off after restart. Now I understand that this was because of hardware clock being off 3 minutes. Setting time once a year wouldn't be that much of a problem. Especially for people who use nntp server for setting time.

Just to mention, on some of my devices (mobile phones) clock is very inaccurate. I need to set them up on weekly base. They are based on Android, so linux is their main OS.
