Automatic time different on iPhone and Macbook!

Why not start a new thread here? I am so annoyed at my macbook always displaying the time three minutes late. Though this issue has been on this forum since 7years ago the banana's at apple seem to ignore it and do not offer any explaination. My iPhone appears to be correct but both my macbooks are late! Respectively 3 and 6minutes. Is there any other solution than disabling the 'set time automatically' and syncing it manually? Disturbing that Apple is so inconsistent im displaying the time on two devices that are both connected to the same router using the same internet of things....

MacBook, macOS 10.15

You have some rubbish installed on your Mac yet you post in the iphone forum.

Install Etrecheck from etresoft.com, give it full disk acccess, create a new post (with less attitude) in the MacOS forum, paste the report into the Additional Text box and someone will take a look.

It is clear that you like to use and like others to use that check service, however the fact that apple doesn't offer it in its store puts people off. Since my system is fulky original and had only two downloaded programs it wasn't necessary to aa per your suggestion reinstall the entire system nor to install software that is no longer available at the apple store. Your answers pushed me in the right direction but were both terrible over kill. As is your bullying habit of talking others down. Good luck reinstalling your tone and manner!!
