Re: How Do You Set Your Clocks?

My friend doesn't even have a clock in her house. She uses her phone for everything.

Re: How Do You Set Your Clocks?

I set mine to be as "on time" as possible, though I do have a couple that run a tad slow, so I'll adjust them a few minutes ahead if I have to reset them for some reason.

 

I generally try to be on the early side of appointments, if I can be.

 

I have a couple of balky battery operated wall clocks that run perfectly in the winter but constantly stop in the summer.  I think it has to do with how the earth tilts on it's axis.

I set to exact time. It’s really not helpful to know a clock is set so many minutes ahead of time bc you know you still have that extra time. Makes no sense. LOL!

I set my clocks to the right time. I want to know what time it is! And I'm never late. If I set my clocks ahead I would know it in my head and it would have the effect of making me take the time to figure out the real time.

Re: How Do You Set Your Clocks?

I cannot play the clock game.

 

Mine are set by the time on my cell phone and every clock in the house is set to the same time.

 

I had a clock in my bedroom that started to run slow and I had to get rid of it because I was constantly resetting it.

Everything on the exact time. And I am always on time. I get myself going early. I never thought about having the wrong time on my clocks.

Re: How Do You Set Your Clocks?

@Desert Lily  I set my clocks to the minute. I am fanatical about being on time for stuff. Usually get places 10 minutes early. My dad was in the service and his motto was if you're on time, you're late. LOL
