Microcontroller › 8051 › delay in c ›  Once properly initialised,

Once properly initialised, the timers then depend only on one thing; Crystal oscillator. Check if there is anything wrong with your crystal and its coupling capacitors.

Also in your code make sure there should not be a delay in your timer’s ISR which is more than the timer’s firing period itself.

 

If you are trying to make a watch, its better to use RTC chip.
