The one that caught me out today was my smart watch. Automatic...right?
Only if it's connected to my phone apparently. ๐
That would have caught me out too
Woo 6 months of the car clock being right!
The trick is that there's always one clock you forget about until it catches you out. I've sorted the microwave, given up on the cooker and... now where is it?
I'd just set all the clocks I don't care about to be very wrong so that I know to ignore them
I don't even do that so i admire your conscientiousness. If it's not a smart device or the thermostat it stays at the wrong time
Ahhhhh, the thermostat! Buggger. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Haha I nearly forgot too.
Although I probably won't have the heating on for 6 months now, so...
Never bothered with the microwave. Damn thing will be 257 minutes out of sync by the end of the week somehow
Yeah, mine slow creeps forward in time until it is about 15-20 minutes out.
Clocks went forward today and I was wondering why I slept so late. Then I remembered
Car clock? I just pressed the HH button once.
Cooker? Cycle through options until a clock item appears, then hold the middle button until it goes up by 1 hour.
Yes, I do have an engineering degree, how did you know?
What is the HH button?
Hour Hour
Both my cooker and car are incredibly simple. A couple of buttons to add an hour.
This must be a lie, surely ๐
Cooker has a clock button then a plus one button. Car has a mode button then plus one.
I think n they work for big Cooker and or Car
My cooker has a button with a picture of a clock underneath it. When I press it nothing happens, when I hold it nothing happens. The button does not appear to do anything.
To change the time on my oven you have to press a button with a picture of a key on it, wait for a red light to show up, then press the up and down keys to move left and right and the plus and minus keys to increase and decrease time. The bottom with the picture of the clock on it does not appear to be involved in the process at all.
Oh good, the microwave clock is back in business!
Mine still counts the time from the time we had a power cut last year
I think most people just have a defeatist attitude about changing clocks and never even try. I do find myself constantly fixing peoples clocks when I visit them. Almost none of them are hard or obscure.... like literally 95% of the time, there is a button labeled clock, 4% of the time there is an options menu, with an entry for clock. The other 1% can for sure be a bit more crazy... but for that 1% to be making people feel like they shouldn't even try to change clocks, not even looking to see if there is a clearly labeled clock button. There is something more going on.
I'm not some clock genius... and kids generally have no problem setting the clocks on stuff...so at some point it was learned behaviour that clocks are impossible to set... but learned how?
Bro we're just lazy
Ah fair, didn't see the lazysoci.al thing and responded generally.
my watch is correct for the main clock, but the little '2nd timezone' one is off by like 5 minutes. If have to rotate a full 24 hours to fix it and I don't have a need for a 2nd timezone, so it's just gonna be incorrect till I fix it next daylight savings time lol
You're wearing a right handed clock on the wrong side. The crown should be on the side of your free hand so you can use it easily.
But then it would be upside down?..

Nuh uh, the clocks are wrong now. I like it when the UK matches UTC.

Keep it casual.
