Nope. I refuse. I don't like it and I've decided I'm not participating this year.

I wish I could do that, but it's probably not a good idea for someone who's already chronically late for almost everything.

You and me both!

I'll find a way to be late for my own funeral... lol.

It's one of the MANY things I love about living in AZ - NO time change!!!!

Indiana used to be like AZ. I wish we NEVER changed. I hate fall back.

I have one of the very old automatic clocks that the Q sold and the time changed last week. Of course, living in AZ, I had to change it back. I wish someone would make an automatic clock for the states that don't change their time.

Me too. But I was lazy - I dialed back the LED brightness, covered the clock and temporarily moved another alarm into my room and left it alone figuring it'd be right in a few days.

I have one of those old Smart clocks too that changed about 2 weeks ago. I don't change time either, they are a pain in the b----, but other than that work great!

I like Spring Forward better than Fall Back. I like longer daylight hours in the afternoon/evening. Living close to the time zone change boundary, it just gets dark too early here for me in the winter.

My smart clock messed me up two weeks ago. I thought it was 4:30AM...and it was actually 5:30! It messed up my whole Monday...everything felt rushed after that.

Why doe these clocks still work this way?????

Because they were purchased prior to 2005 when the change was made and it has the old dates programmed into it. I have the 2 Emersons purchased from QVC and twice a year, I think of getting rid of them. But they work perfectly fine otherwise.

I hate the early dark nights. This is when I am thankful for living in a warm climate. I can get out and run to the store to break up the long night.

Yeah, that's the bummer about the older clocks that were wired to change on the old schedule. I have an Emerson that does that, so I have to fix it four times a year.

We have a couple of Equity brand smart clocks and one good thing is that you can just turn off the time change thing. It would seem that you could with any clock because everybody doesn't have time changes, but I digress.

With the ones I can turn off the time change feature I just put it on Mountain time during the spring/summer time of year and just click it back to Pacific time for the winter part.

I'd like to think that the newer models have the new time change schedule, but all of ours still work fine outside of that problem so I haven't been moved to replace them.
