    Time dilation occurs when the affected equipment is made out of cheap materials in order to cut costs.

      More like, time dilation is impossible to perfect but the better the quality the more accurate it is.

      Even atomic clocks have time dilation.

      Usually I see them go out due to brief power flashes and none of them have even a CMOS battery -esque setup where it can simply retain the time during a power interruption, which is likely a result of your point.
