How clever is your watch?

I have to tell it when we change to day light saving, though...

Ummm Didn't know you needed a watch too tell you the best time to go fishing. I thought any time is the best time for fishing, after all.....

A bad day fishing will always be better than a good day at work!

Breitling: keeps *really* good time and includes leap-years on the date.

Citizen AT: keeps better time *provided* I am in the USA/Japan/Europe to interrogate the HF atomic clock signal.....

...a physical concept that (i.e really accurate time) is sadly lost by Aussie bureaucrats and Pollies...as we no longer have a similar HF service.

I think it's getting up early one morning in Spring so you can enjoy a lie in six months later. Perhaps also an exercise in mass psychology, to remind everybody to change the batteries in their clocks and smoke detectors. Personally, it is excuse number 54 in the never-ending series entitled "Why I am late to work today..."

That is a 'classic' response ... !!!

My watch never gets the date wrong . .

because it doesn't have a date function, just the time

If I need to know the date my phone has it

See what I mean.... I hate the end of Feb, it always trips me up.
End of Feb or leap year, neither makes a difference to me- there's still days missing.
#$@*%! as I reset my watch back.
You guys are confusing the heck out of me today, I'm not good with dates at the best of times.

That's exactly how I feel if I have to cross the border into Mex...sorry NSW. Always feel that day light saving has robbed me of an hours sleep the next morning.

Our local TV guide says that today is the 30th of February.

Is there something I've missed while I was asleep.

[Suzy]

That's a good one Ric.

And in case anyone's wondering (re my previous confusion posts)- no, I don't work for tv guide, I did not type that.

Stu, honestly, it must be so hard to be working across the border during daylight savings time- don't know how you people do it.
