In this age of digital time keepers, setting those things back is a minor pain. So how many do you have?
My own tally:
The clock beside the TV.
The clock beside my sleeping mat.
My indoor/outdoor thermonater clock.
The clock in the pen holder beside the CD player.
The office telephone clock.
One alarm clock/radio/phone next to the bed, with the alarm also set.
One on the TV in the Master Bedroom.
One on the TV in the Family Room.
The DVD player/entertainment system.
On the stove.
On the microwave.
On the Coffee Pot.
Alarm Clock/phone in my sons room.
TV in my sons room.
Alarm Clock in my daughters room.
TV in my daughters room.
That is 11 clocks to set.
Good thing that our four cell phones reset themselves.
Three to six. Three to change: one in my bedroom, one in the sitting room, one in the car. Three to check: my bedside clock should adjust itself, as should my central heating, likewise my mobile phone.
The computers and DVR should all change themselves.
Clock radio in bedroom.
Watch.
Two other clocks upstairs (guest room and study), neither of which I use regularly, so they’re optional.
Clock in living room.
The DVD/VCR is new, so I’m not sure if it will reset itself or not.
Clock in kitchen (plus it needs a new battery)
Clock on microwave.
Clock in car.
Clock on the wall at work.
Seven, possibly eight, plus two I don’t usually bother to do on the switch date.
Plus I need to set up the timer on the getting-home-from-work lamp; the switch by the front door now runs a ceiling fan, not a light, so I put a lamp in the dining room on a timer from 6 to 8 so there’s a light on in the house when I walk in.
16 eek!

I only have about five, but then I have to go to my parents house and change the clocks on their stove, microwave, car, and VCR. It’s funny my dad can build or fix just about anything, but when it comes to digital clocks the guy is stumped.
I have four clocks–my wristwatch, an alarm clock, my cell phone and my computer. The last sets itself, the first two I have to change manually (the alarm clock is a bit of a pain because there’s no way to just change it back an hour–I have to set it ahead 23 hours instead). The phone I can’t remember if it’ll set itself or not, but I don’t really care either way, I don’t use it as a timepiece.

Only five. I don’t bother with wristwatches anymore, the computer resets itself, and I don’t touch my car radio clock upon pain of death (I just live with it being an hour off for six months of the year).
My computers, my cell phone and my VCR set themselves, so that saves me some trouble right there. All I have to worry about is my car clock, my alarm clock and my watch, so that makes three. Since my mom and dad aren’t technically proficient I’ll probably be called over there to set their two car clocks for them, for a total of five clocks.
