Woo 6 months of the car clock being right!

The trick is that there's always one clock you forget about until it catches you out. I've sorted the microwave, given up on the cooker and... now where is it?

The one that caught me out today was my smart watch. Automatic...right?

Only if it's connected to my phone apparently. 🙄

Car clock? I just pressed the HH button once.

Cooker? Cycle through options until a clock item appears, then hold the middle button until it goes up by 1 hour.

Yes, I do have an engineering degree, how did you know?

Oh good, the microwave clock is back in business!

Car clock is totally worth not thinking you're late.

Clocks went forward today and I was wondering why I slept so late. Then I remembered

The trick for clocks in a lot of cars is you need to turn off the radio to do it. Many of the buttons are dual use they will change settings on the radio if it's on.

I think most people just have a defeatist attitude about changing clocks and never even try. I do find myself constantly fixing peoples clocks when I visit them. Almost none of them are hard or obscure.... like literally 95% of the time, there is a button labeled clock, 4% of the time there is an options menu, with an entry for clock. The other 1% can for sure be a bit more crazy... but for that 1% to be making people feel like they shouldn't even try to change clocks, not even looking to see if there is a clearly labeled clock button. There is something more going on.

I'm not some clock genius... and kids generally have no problem setting the clocks on stuff...so at some point it was learned behaviour that clocks are impossible to set... but learned how?
