The best we can do with Java 7 is http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#currentTimeMillis(), which is what is used here, if indirectly from the Calendar class. Java 8 can give us higher precision, though not necessarily higher accuracy (depends on the underlying clock, such as using an onboard atomic clock source that's synchronized with GPS, yes that does exist): https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/Instant.html Something we can look at for 2.7.2
