Luckily the only devices I have that need to be manually set to correct time are my cameras. And I set the time on them fairly frequently anyway because the clocks drift by half a minute every few months.
I mean, every other device with a clock that I have use NTP.
All of the cameras I have do have wifi/bluetooth, but at least as far my Nikon cameras go, last time I tried it using the app reliably on my phone was a bit of a hassle. Ricoh pocket camera was said to have an app but everyone complained how terrible it was so I didn’t even bother to try it. Setting the time manually is just easier for all of the cameras.
The only camera that I have that had a reliable and easy app-based time sync was my GoPro. But then GoPro replaced their old app with this current nonsense. It just straight up doesn’t pair my camera to my phone any more and pushes a subscription thing and I heard them talk about EOLing the camera (“excuse me, how the f do you ‘EOL’ a camera”, asks this Nikon girl with a lens from the 1980s). So I had to figure out how to set the clock manually.

NTP?
