Using synchronized Network Time Servers communicating with GPS satellites, Apple sends time information to iPhones around the world, which in turn send that information to the Apple Watch, which corrects for communication time delay. There's also specialized hardware inside the watch itself. From Mashable: Apple also designed the Apple Watch to be an exquisitely accurate timepiece, building in what's known as a crystal temperature-control oscillator. Its job is to manage the vagaries of extreme temperatures, to compensate for drift and keep the Apple Watch time-accurate. Lynch actually told us that "as a piece of hardware, [Apple Watch is] far more accurate as a timekeeping device than the iPhone," said Lynch. It's actually four times better, he noted.
