(My father commented that the 'issue' pocket watch did not keep very good time and as a result he always used his own.) "Office" watches were not always adjusted to the broadcast time, but any difference would be noted and a record kept for manual correction (to avoid disturbing the watch, which might cause the rate of drift to change).

No atomic clocks to go by back then!
I figured they'd have to be set daily. The conditions under which they were used were less than ideal after all.

I don't know about the army but the navy broadcast a continuous time signal. On the enclosed chart from one of my US Navy sets you can see the station "time tick" on the right side. There is one digit missing from the frequency as it is in the 12 Mc range.
