Google Now's clock is 4 hours ahead of the system clock. Any idea why this is happening?

For some reason Google Now thinks that I'm 4 hours in the future.

Here, I tried setting an alarm for 1 hour ahead of current time, and it sets it for 5 hours ahead instead: http://i.imgur.com/y5u9C1z.png

Here, I tried specifying an exact time (11:26 PM) and it sets it for 11:26 AM instead (because it thinks that 11:26 PM is in the past): http://i.imgur.com/H0B2H7l.png

I tried clearing app data, didn't fix anything. I looked up and down Google Now's settings, nothing seems like it would fix it.

The phone is a stock, un-rooted RAZR running whatever version Motorola managed to pump out recently.

Thanks for any help, it's very much appreciated.
 
Hello shoffing, glad to have you here with us. :)

Your question got me curious. I saw where some folk were complaining about their Google Calendar having the wrong time and the suggestion was to go into options on the calendar and change the timezone.

Doubt if that applies to you, :) just throwing it out there.

On your phone, in Settings, do you have a Location header? Does it give you the option to enable Google Location service? All sorts of ways there for the network to know where you are. Was wondering if you might have them turned off and if that was what was causing the problem?

Could look for your razr in here, Android Phones - Android Forums and see if someone there might have some insight, as well.

Again, welcome to the Forums!
