Same I got mine day one and have only noticed this for about two weeks. I know I would have noticed sooner if it was there though.
Got a tip for us?

My iPad's clock is wrong. Very wrong.

Could this be in any way related to iTunes 10.1.1 if the WiFi version relies on syncing to update its clock?
That's a very good possibility but it seems that if this were true more and more people would have this problem. I haven't heard of much people with this but don't rule out this could be a iTunes bug.
Yup. Mine is also exactly three minutes fast. If it was the internal clock somehow shutting down for some reason, the inaccuracy would be the other direction; it would be slow, not faster.
Curious. A big hit to iPad functionality, don't you think? All these organizer, meeting planner and scheduling apps rely on accurate time. There's got to be a network push solution for keeping our clocks in accurate sync.

Mine seemed to have gained a couple of minutes so I adjusted manually and it has regained and is 2 minutes fast again. Weird. Only started just before Christmas.
Interestingly I manually adjusted my iPad clock to 15 mins in the past. Synced and the clock stayed 15 mins behind, whereas I would have expected it to have corrected. Not sure what this means but I thought it was worth mentioning.
Mine is ahead by about 7 minutes. Just noticed this a week or so ago, and got mine in July. It's funny that someone did mention the possible connection related to using BT, because I did start using it around the same time. But, I did use it months before and I didn't notice any time difference back then.
Mine is 5 minutes fast. Even after syncing with my mac........weird. I just noticed it this morning. I don't think it's always been 5 minutes ahead....not sure when it happened.
Running iOS 4.3.5 on a 64gb iPad with 3G (turned on) connected to o2 Germany.
Syncing to iTunes 10.4 on Lion. The time won't get updated and it doesn't seem to pull it from the cellular network either.

Just discovered this when I accidentally had alarms set for iPhone and iPad at same time.
My iPad 2 is minutes fast -- and I can't fix this???
What a ridiculous fail by Apple if they haven't mastered correct time, yet.
Glad I paid for that highly rated alarm app.

Fix: resetting the wrong time on ipad clock
After jailbroken my ipad, the home clock turned wrong.
i.e: home clock is not the current home time setting.
I've tried to go to "Clock" -> "World Clock"
1. Deleting all previous world clock settings.
2. Re-setting new world clock list
-> Nothing changed.
But then, this is the solution, while I went to "Settings" -> "General" -> "Date & Time"
- "Set Automatically": Turn it off
- Time Zone: Selecting your current time zone, in my case "Asia/Hochiminh City"
- Set Date & Time: choosing your current time.
Mission Accomplished.
Good luck to everybody & have a good day.
