I’m springing forward, not falling back but I have:
4 watches
1 mobile phone
1 car clock
3 digital clock radios
2 VCRs
1 microwave oven
1 oven
3 wall clocks
4 remote air conditioner timers
Bloody Norah. 19. No wonder I’m so tired.

Too tired to even add up properly.
Microwave.
Watch.
Alarm clock.
The mobile phone’s a cinch, even though it’s an older model - just need to turn it off, then on again. Thing found the signal and fixed itself.
None in this house, in the fair state of Arizona, we’re all too lazy to bother with it.
What are you all inside some sort of time continuum that isolates you from the rest of the world? So the difference between time zones for you actually changes throughout the year? I.E. yesterday we in California were 1 hour earlier than you and now we’re 2? Or we were on the same time and now we’re an hour earlier? Why must you confound us?!
Well, I’ve only lived here a few months, and I’ve adopted the theory that everyone else is changing their clocks just to confuse US.
I think now we are in line with Mountain Time, which means I’m only an hour behind my friends in Texas, and so can chat with them online until 1AM instead of only until midnight (they start dropping like flies at 2AM their time, since they have 8AM classes). Pretty sure before we were in Pacific time. We just switch time zones twice a year.
I forgot my pocket-watch and my answering machine.
The one that baffles me is the fact that Southampton Island, Nunavut, does not observe DST. Do you know how many people live on Southampton Island, Nunavut? 712, that’s how many.
What makes them so special?!
Car clock.
Car radio has a clock too, but that is still reading “ADJUST” from a year ago when the battery went dead, and I have lost the book on how to set it.
Clock on the microwave.
Everything else sets itself.
Tris
Car
Microwave
Coffee pot
Alarm clock
That’s it - I don’t wear a watch, the cell phone, cable box and computer set themselves - and there’s not a clock on my television.
I suppose if I had the VCR plugged in, I’d have to set it, but I haven’t had it hooked up since I bought the new television last month.

I have a lot of clocks. Here in Indiana, we’re on DST after more than 2 decades off it.
One here in the office.
Two bathrooms, two clocks.
One in the guest room.
Two in our bedroom (one to wake up by, and one with huge glowing numbers I can see without my glasses.)
Microwave.
Gas range.
Coffeemaker.
One chiming, windup clock in the family room.
One battery clock in the family room.
One in the car.
One in the truck.
One in the front room.
Thermostat.
My wife’s two watches (I took off my watch when I retired.)
That’s seventeen.
We have a little self-setting clock that we set all the other clocks by.
…And I’m sure I’m forgetting something. The computers and the newer TV/VCR/DVD player set-up in the family room should re-set themselves.
I’m very anal about being on time. Woe betide the student that makes a habit out of arriving to my classroom tardy!
Now, off to tune my shortwave to the time station out of Colorado, turn it up so the whole neighborhood can hear it, and then set all my timepieces to atomic clock precision.
Two cars
One analog clock in the living room
One watch
Two bedside clocks in the bedroom
One clock in the bathroom
Two VCRs
That’s nine.
Two cell phones, one computer and one XM receiver reset themselves.
I have over 100 time keeping devices…I collect/repair watches in addition to the usual doodads with clocks in them, but I don’t reset any of them.
Arizona does not have Daylight Savings. We have enough sun as it is.
Computer, cell phone, and one VCR do themselves. Totalling wristwatches, digital and analog clocks, clock radios, a fax machine, a digital phone recorder, the other VCR, stove and truck, I’ve got 18.
Just one: the clock at work which is set to HQ time (in CA). Japan believes that time shouldn’t be fiddled with.
Only two: my watch and the car’s.
The clock in the kitchen is always flashing zero: the electricity bumps out every day at 6am (my WAG is they change turbines at the power plant, which is just over two hills) so I don’t bother set it right. And the computer and cellphone set themselves.
One. The alarm clock beside my bed.
But I never put it forward when summer time came in, so now I don’t have to put it back.
It shows the right time for half the year. That’s good enough for me.
None. Hawaii doesn’t do Daylight Savings.
