A broken clock is right two times a day.

A stopped clock is right twice a day. A broken clock could potentially never be right, like if it's perpetually 10 minutes behind.
That's not a broken clock, that's a clock that's set to the wrong time. Unless it remains 10 minutes behind, even when you set it 10 minutes forward, which would be a great prank gift.
A broken analogy never stops.
