[time-nuts] Any guesses as to how Citizen is claiming ±1 second/year with using this AT-cut 8.4MHz XTAL?

For an application where neither phase noise nor jitter matters,
it is certainly feasible to measure the tempco of the X-tal at the
factory and let a micro-power computer use temperature measurements
to model the "perfect" frequency and phase.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
