The commercial Raspberry Pi does not have a real-time clock. It just has a software clock as far as I know.

This is why on commercial Raspberry Pi an NTP time server located typcially on the internet is needed. This server is asked during boot times by the commercial Raspberry Pi to get the current time. Also it is possible to configure the NTP service on commercial Raspberry Pi to ask for the clock periodically in case the device is not swicthed off and running forever to synchronize from time to time the NTP server.

Thx
