How many clocks do you have to change?

Smartphones and laptops will update automatically, but how many clocks do you have to change manually?

We actually have a lot. The microwave, three wall clocks, four alarm clocks… some wrist watches. I think that’s it, but it’s like 9 or 10!

Mostly appliances and my car.

I have an alarm clock in my bedroom but it has a DST ON/OFF switch in the back so I only need to change the switch.

Having said that, it’s sufficiently inaccurate that after six months the time has drifted enough to need fixing so I’ll do that too.

@jon-nyc I always forget about the car!

Actually our alarm clocks have the DST button too, thankfully!

@shirokuro 2 clocks (stove, car) and 2 watches (Casio analog and and digital).

Fourteen, but a few will not be started up so probably around 12.

Ok you win! that’s a lot!

Another thing I forgot is our outdoor lights, which are on a timer. I think they’re supposed to adjust automatically, but if memory serves, last year, I had to adjust them manually.

I think 14 counting the watches and cars.. Yeah, forgot about the timers...

Nine
2 cars, 2 ovens, a microwave a bedroom alarm, and 3 ticking.

We all have a lot of clocks don't we!

15, I think. Kind of lost count.

2 ranges, one microwave. 2 bedroom alarm clocks. One in kitchen, 2 in living room, one in garage. Some number in basement, two cars.

Seems excessive but I just like clocks. These new battery powered movements make them easy to keep running.

Seven, counting a wristwatch, and not counting the microwave which is often unplugged anyway. We leave it at 88:88.
