Turn your clock forward yet?

I'm glad my computer does it automatically, because I may never have noticed otherwise.

With my watch, I didn't have to... I was still on Indiana time. I'll have to set it ahead again when I go to Atlanta in a week and a half though.

Is your watch tricky to reset, or is it just annoying to remember?

It's not tricky, it's that it's dual. The analog part, which looks like any other analog watch, and a bottom window that's a separate digital watch, so I just kept one running an hour ahead of the other, thinking that it would be pointless to change it back with a couple trips shortly after Indiana that would take me into that time zone again. (so yes, annoying to remember, I guess). I obviously overlooked daylight savings time.

Why so complex?

Two watch faces on one watch.

Go back? Where do gifted individuals keep their wristwatches? Mine is on my wrist.

I take it off when I get home and sit here doing nothing.

And put it in the drawer in my nightstand with everything else I need so I don't forget them.

If you have it on your wrist, you can't lose it. As I've found, if you take it off of your wrist, it disappears quite easily.

If I leave it on it makes me sweat (it's like 85 out right now) and I rest my wrist on the edge of the desk I'm at so it'd be in the way or whatever.

Then why even have one (and a multi-faced one at that)?

I don't find a dual watch confusing. It's kindof nice, if you need to know two different times at once. Which I normally don't, but it's still nice.

That sounds like a Kevin post to me.

What scenario could you envision in which you (or anyone) would need to know two different times that couldn't be found simply from addition or subtraction?
