Tangent about clock drift: my phone (Pixel 9) drifts by about 5-10 minutes a day when in airplane mode. This doesn't sound like it would be a huge deal, but I do a lot of wilderness backpacking and very long flights where I'm keeping it in airplane mode for 36+ hours to save battery, and then at the end I need an accurate time to make the next flight or meet a ride.
Not really sure what to do about it because there is no official support for Pixels in this country.
Not judging, but I'm curious why you don't wear a watch?
I do typically, but I haven't always been the best at managing watch charge. It's a coros fitness watch and I've killed it on some hikes by using the GPS too much.
Overall not a huge problem, but it is annoying.
Something like the Casio GW-M5610-1ER would be good option.
Charges from solar and can get time updates over Multiband 6 if your region has coverage.
There's many cheap watches with effectively infinite battery. But no gps
