Yes, I know this won't be the end of the world as we know it, but it's still somewhat annoying. My talking watch has only one way to set, and that's forward. You can't go backward. As such, when I set it back one hour last night, I actually needed to set it forward 23 hours. Like I said, nothing huge, just one of life's little annoynaces. Thanks for listening.

I didn't see any talking watches that you can move the hour or the minutes backwards. Most of them are like that. Only on mobile phones or computers you can just type the hour you want and most of them especially computer change on their own anyway.
But as you said it is not the end of the world. It's something you do only once a year. In spring when you change the hour forward you only have to press the button once.
Sometimes i am wondering if people rand about things like that how are they going to mannage really difficult situations like financialy issues and things like that?

How fucking pathetic it is that people have nothing better to do than moan and bitch about stupid little bits of nonsence that really don't matter. Get a fucking life and find something worth while to moan about.

Whoa! He did say he knew it was silly before he started, and this is the rant board after all.

I agree, it is a pain in the butt to have to go forward 23 hours to move back 1 hour. I have a talking alarm clock that allows you to set hours and minutes backwards and forwards. So my watch is the only thing I have to deal with the way you described.
