I agree with you. For simplicity and cost, it really seems worthwhile to
just use an external RTC chip. Most of them seem to be I2C, but I like SPI
better (faster, simpler, etc.). There are some RTC "chips" that have the
crystal and temperature compensation on board. You can really accurate
that way.
