That seems reasonable.  Another approach is to get there early and wait 
for the time.

Another approach for timers is to make the display look as good as it 
can (based on the clock), but do the real timing some other way.  That 
is, the display might update often, but the display at the event that 
stops the clock is exact.  Well, close to it.
