Default LED alarm clocks all lose accuracy over time

I have 3 Intelli-Time LED alarm clocks around the house, just like the

one

I initially bought these due to them keeping time when the power goes

off
and auto resetting for DST. There is a problem, however. Each of the
clocks becomes inaccurate over time. If I set them all manually to the
same time, within a few months, each one will be off by 3-5 minutes.

So I ask, what is the problem and is there any way to repair it?

Thanks in advance,
Bill

I've used one of the projection alarm clocks for 4 years now, with the
projector light on 24/7.
No problems. Its has battery back-up, but no projection if the power

fails.
All the alarm and wall clocks in the house are now atomic. So is my
wris****ch.
IMHO, If a clock doesn't show the correct time, its not a clock...its a
timer.



Confucius , he say, but even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a
day
