I have an anachronism that I enjoy. I have a regular old watch. Not an Apple Watch, that Dick Tracy-ish thing, just a watch. It tells time, and on this one, a little square with the date.
And it isn't self correcting...
I was up early, and realized that it said it was the 3rd.
I thought.
Didn't have my glasses on, but I was sure it wasn't that far along the month. I grabbed the glasses, but started my day before checking my watch again...
Well, I had to date something, and looked at my watch. (I look at my watch, even if I have my cellphone in my hand.) The 3rd? What? 31?? Oh, crud, it's not the 31st!
I had forgotten to move the date up after all that leaping 'stuff'. So, after a quick redo of the date, I now have the correct day.
For a month or so, at any rate... !
(Oh, and just a note, it's also the time change, unless you are in Arizona or Hawaii...)
Nothing like analog to make you look twice, for certain. My watch sometimes resets itself while i'm asleep, so i have to check and reset it in the mornings. It's still better than the phone i have to spend time reaching for.
