What is the best way to get the current time to use with a program on the nRF52-DK?

[Matthew Johnson]

I have created an instance of time using the standard time function in C. I have also linked it to a counter on a timer so I can track how long the device has been active since the start of the device. I would now like to update the time from an external source (possibly via BLE) so I can have real-time stamps for different events on the device. I am currently writing the application based on the BLE App Template in version 14.2.0 of the SDK. Any recommendations?

You can get the current time using the Current Time Service (CTS) from a mobile device (via BLE of course). This is for nRF51, but the idea is the same ... https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/1963/questions-on-how-to-implement-the-current-time-service
