How many clocks do you need to reset for daylight savings?

Asked by chyna (51568points) March 11th, 2023 from iPhone

It’s that time of year again. And I have to ask this question again. I have seven clocks I need to reset. How many do you have?

I just reset the 3 digital, soon I’ll reset the 3 analog (and my Mickey Mouse watch), and tomorrow I’ll try to remember my car. Sometimes I feel like it’s a monumental chore.

Takes just a few minutes.

I think 8 of them and I hate doing that every year! Uhggg!! Set it and forget it!

None. they all change automatically.

Just two. Click on my den desk and clock on kitchen wall. And the one in my car. Any politician who could end this shit has my vote. Regardless of party.

@NoMore Oh the reps could but they are dragging the butts, of course.

NoMore's avatar

Grand Past Masters of butt dragging. : ) Doesn’t fit their agenda.

Four manually. 6 if you count cars.

13 including cars, coffee makers, stove and microwaves.

3 in the kitchen
2 in the living room
1 in the sewing room
2 in the guest room
2 in the bed room

The tablets, phones and computers all reset themselves.

^ Don’t forget the one in the car!

jca2's avatar

2 analog and 1 digital (car clock).

I don’t bother with the one on the coffee pot or the oven.

filmfann's avatar

@chyna The car! Oh crap! Now I have to get out of bed and fix that one!

Ten:
Kitchen, 4
Living room, 1
My room, 1
Late husband’s room, 1
Bedroom, 2
Car, 1

There’s also my wristwatch, though not strictly a clock.

I just started the process in the kitchen. I’ll let you know later when I do the others.
Microwave, range, coffee maker, rice cooker, Indoor/outdoor thermometer: 5
Weather station, laptop, telephone, running watch, WWV “atomic” clock: automatically changed (5)

Ugh, I forgot the timer that is on a light downstairs, I was a bit confused in the night, and early this morning.

LuckyGuy's avatar

OK Here’s the summary: I changed 15. 6 others changed automatically
Kitchen 5 + 5 that changed automatically
Bedroom 3
Living Room 2 ( Clock and TV) 1 Roku changed automatically
Appliance timers 3
Cameras 2

Plus there are 3 trail cameras that need to be set but they are out in the woods and I am too lazy to trudge through the snow. They probably need to have batteries charged, too.

Six. Microwave, oven, wall clock, three vehicles. Of the vehicles, I only have to do two.

chyna's avatar

I actually missed 2. I thought I had 7 but it is actually 9. I have set all but 2. They need a step ladder for me to reach them, so I have put it off for now.

Forever_Free's avatar

All of them. 2 houses worth, 1 car. about 10 I suspect

raum's avatar

Ten? Two in the bedrooms, one in the living room, one in the kitchen plus the microwave, toaster oven and range. Two in the cars. And my watch.

LuckyGuy's avatar

I forgot to do one of my cars. The other did it automatically.

chyna's avatar

2 days later and I still have 2 more to set. One needs a step ladder to get to and the other is an outdoor temperature and clock. It’s too cold to go outside and set that one right now.

RocketGuy's avatar

4 clocks
3 kitchen appliances
3 kitchen timers
1 thermostat
2 clock/alarms
3 cars
1 Roomba system
1 cordless phone system

At least all my laptops and iDevices do it automatically. So does my Wemo system. My weather station uses GPS time.
No VCRs!

kruger_d's avatar

Car, stove, microwave

LifeQuestioner's avatar

Well, I was going to say just one, but since I never changed the clock on my stove last fall, I actually didn’t have to change it this past Sunday.

RocketGuy's avatar

Power went out in our neighborhood for a day. Now I have to start over on our AC powered clocks. :(

chyna's avatar

^i hate when that happens!

flutherother's avatar

I have no clocks to change, just a stubborn radio which should change automatically but never does.
