Happy Standard Time!
How many clocks did you have to re-set this morning?
I have a "smart" phone and our bedside clocks are also "smart" so they re-set themselves but I also have 4 small battery powered clocks in various rooms that needed to be re-set as well as the stove and microwave and the electric clock on top of the Dish Network box because it does not display a time. Oh and the garage has a wall clock too with time and temperature.
I am not a nut about having a clock in every room but I like to see the temperature and humidity and my 4 battery powered clocks are used for that but they tell the time too so I had to re-set it.
That is 8 clocks for me to re-set today! That seems ridiculous when I see it in writing but I worked in a lab for years and I was always getting free little temperature/humidity clocks from various vendors and now I am used to having them in several rooms of my house. I like them and of course I need one in the sunroom for seed starting time.
Forgot the basement so that's 9 clocks to re-set!

All my clocks reset themselves. Of course that is just the iPhone, the iMac, and the car radio.

Have not yet re-set the digital clocks on the microwave, stove top, bedroom ceiling time display radio, and two greenhouse remote temperature units, so that's five I can think of to do. And the two vehicle clocks next time we drive. Our landline phones will reset the first time someone calls. Husband already did the three manual wall clocks and his wrist watch.
So 7 total left to do. Actually 8, but the greenhouse clock needs a new battery and is already 4 hours off.

I only have one clock that needs reset - all the rest reset themselves. Oh yeah - I reset my watch, before going to bed.

I guess I should reset the microwave, but it never was on the correct time anyways so probably not going to rush in to get it done.

We just went out in the Toyota truck and it connects to a satellite for GPS and radio so it re-set it's own clock. That is the first vehicle I have ever had that did this. It was nice but it's also probably spying on me and transmitting date via satellite!

We have 3 battery operated wall clocks that we had to reset. The micro and stove we should but the power flickers on and off around here enough it isn't worth it. I don't have a clock in my Tahoe and the cars spend one season one hour off yearly lol

Let me think...I count 10 clocks we have that didn't reset themselves. Microwave, oven, mantle clock, 2 aquarium light timers, hall bathroom wall clock, 2 of the boys' alarm clocks (the other son uses his cellphone for an alarm clock), and 2 vehicle clocks.
That includes the master bathroom wall clock that was supposed to reset itself, but it must not be getting a signal. I guess we have to take it down and walk it to a window to get a better signal. We might also have take the battery out and put it back in to get it to "reboot" and search for the signal.
We generally don't bother to reset the aquarium light timers. It doesn't matter much if they come on and go off an hour earlier in the winter. It's enough that the lights are on for the correct number of hours per day in the afternoon and evening when we are around to enjoy watching the fish.
Must be fun for clock collectors, eh?
