Description
AtomTime Pro is a Windows application which will connect to an atomic clock time server via the Internet and fetch the current atomic clock time value. It compares this value to your PC time and displays the difference. You then have the option of updating your PC clock to match the atomic clock value. There are a number of options to automate the update process. AtomTime Pro also features support for most proxy servers.
Version 3.1d includes unspecified updates.
Review
Although this basic utility adequately performs its main duty of synchronizing your PC's clock with the atomic clock, it lacks features found in other clock-enhancement applications. The simple interface displays your PC time, allows you to sync with its default atomic clock with one click, and allows you to change settings. Though we like the option to display the date as the tray icon, we're disappointed AtomTime Pro doesn't have the robust options offered by its competitors. The synchronization options are minimal: once; every 3, 6, or 12 hours; at start-up; or not at all. The program does not display a list of available timeservers, instead just offering the option of synching to "default atomic clock servers" or surfing to an "alternate time server." In short, if you just want a simple, no-frills way to keep your computer clock accurate, AtomTime Pro will do a decent job, but it's not hard to find more robust utilities.
