If you are the only one with a working watch, is your time definitionally correct, off by a bit, or completely incorrect?

Especially as mechanical watches drift a few minutes each day.

A few seconds each day, unless you have a really bad or poorly maintained watch.

It must be exceptionally bad mechanical watches you are used to

The drift is affected by movement right? I imagine sitting on a table they are much more accurate than swinging around on an arm all day.

As long as we haven't lost the sun too, we can sort it all out again reasonably quickly.

Now you have introduced an additional variable (location) to the equation.
