I don't think it's really OCD, or OCPD, you just like things to work as designed. I'm that way, particularly about clocks which are supposed to show you the current time, not some past time, or some future time, the correct established time right now...
The clock in the 86 is easy enough to set, you just wait until the top of the hour and push the ":00" button. I've noticed mine gets out of synch with my cell phone (my "clock of reference") enough I usually have to update it about 3 times a year. So, by my estimate it drifts about 3 minutes a year.
As far as kitchen clocks, its a ritual in our house if we have a power outage. We have a clock on the microwave, one on the oven. I reset them separately but so that they both change time within a blink of one another. I set one by my phone, waiting for the minute to change to press start. Then repeat on the other, setting it one minute later.
The aggravating thing is that when we rehabbed our kitchen last year, the Samsung range we purchased is an IoT device, but it doesn't reset it's own clock.
MomHawk, on the other hand, is a "set my clock ahead so I'm not late" type person. Her alarm clock is set 30 minutes ahead of real time, her car is about 5 minutes ahead. I gave up that fight along time ago.
