... PCs all have quite a lot of clock drift ...
My Bangle.js 2 has about 60 PPM clock drift at room temperature and Raspberry Pi 3 has about 6 PPM - i.e. 10 times better.

When you restarted the Bangle,was the clock actually telling you the right time? Or could the problem be that the clock just didn't display the time correctly?
Yes, after the reboot the time was right.
If the Bangle actually totally locked up it could be an issue, but if you could reset it by holding the button that means that the system timer was working and time should probably have been kept ok.
Ok, so it was probably an issue with Contour Clock? Before the reboot I could not open the settings with the button.

This isn't the place for this discussion, but if you do a quick google it seems pretty clear that PCs all have quite a lot of clock drift. The only reason they stay accurate now is because they're pretty much all connected to the internet.
For instance I haven't set the time in my Panasonic camera (which isn't a cheap device) for maybe a year or more. I just checked, and it's now over 20 minutes out.
