So that kinda begs the question of why computer mfrs. can't (or won't)
include clocks that are at *least* as accurate as a Timex, no? Wouldn't
a computah be a more compelling reason for a more accurate clock? (I
know, $$$ bottom line, right?)


Wonder if it's because a wrist watch is kept at a pretty constant
temperature via the skin?


Bingo!
