[QUOTE=sunstone]  
Among my watch collection are 6 G Shock watches and they are actually all in synch to the second. I do have them all in the window that faces toward Ft Collins. It is actually a bit bizzare to watch them all change the seconds together.

As far as DST, I have them set to ignore the shift, as we do not observe DST where I live.

As an added bonus, all of these watches are solar powered, and a charge will last for several months in the dark.

I like watches…

That sounds good, but I’ve had problems with Casios.
