The Details of the Question
When I woke up for suhur, I looked at the clock and saw that it was not imsak time yet. After eating suhur, I noticed when I looked at the other clocks at home that the clock on the table was wrong and that imsak time had passed when I ate.
The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
Fasting starts when imsak time starts with dawn. After that time, it is not permissible to eat, drink and do anything that invalidates fasting. Therefore, a person who wants to fast needs to eat before imsak time. This meal eaten before imsak is called «suhur».
Since fasting start with imsak time, you have to fast one day for that day.
