My oven is a night mare to change so never bother
My phone is left to it's self still old time
Can't see the point in changing stuff to be honest just
Look at my kindle,
Time goes to quick anyway and never notice time on here :lol:

Saundra I do not know why everyone is so obsessed by time.

I do not need a clock in the car when I have a wristwatch and a phone. The one on the microwave is only ever used as a timer otherwise it is off. The lounge and kitchen clocks are radio controlled. There's one on the bottom right of the laptop. Just about every modern radio doubles as a clock when it is not tuned in. My alarm clock lies face down because the last thing I want to know is that it is 02:47:38..39..40.. if I wake up.

It's not as though everything works to the second. If you have a delivery you get a slot between 10:17 and 11:42 sort of thing. The next bus is due in 2 mins, five mins later and it has not arrived. We will ring you back in five minutes, but which five minutes?

And then we have those who claim to be "time poor" so they save a few minutes microwaving a chemical mix ready meal, and what do they do with the saved time? They sit on their arses watching the One Show! :roll:

I wear my Fitbit all the time, except in the shower, or when it's charging.

As a project manager who works over 3 different time zones my life is bounded by time. I can't type with my band on but otherwise I wear my Huawe band 6 everywhere including the shower which doesn't bother it.

Time is one of those things that just flows away.

The car annoys me because almost all of my time stuff is automatically adjusting. These last two weeks I've been working with Canada and they shifted time 2 weekends ago. So it's been a real pain. Now we are back to normal.

I prefer not to have analogue clocks as I want the clock to adjust automatically. But I won't get a "not so"Smart speaker. Hate the things.

I like the car to be correct. I don’t wear a watch and I keep my phone out of sight in the car as knowing my luck if I picked it up to look I’d get fined

I’d be far less interested in time if I didn’t go to work
