Use of synchronize

Hi

Are these sentences natural English?

  1. I wanted my vacation to synchronize with hers. (wanted mine to happen at the same time as hers)
  2. They made sure that their vacations synchronized.
  3. Can you possibly synchronize these two clocks? They show different times. (--make them show the same time)

Thanks,

Tom
