Yep, you read it right..

If you have a watch that runs +2 sec per day (pretty typical)....and you only want to set it once a year....now is the time.

+2 sec a day is about 1 minute each month...So set your watch 6 minutes behind now...during the summer (June, July, and August) it will be -1 minute, right on, and + 1 minute respectively... until next New Year where it will be 6 minutes fast...and you can start all over...You will always know almost exactly the precise time with minimal grey cell use..

Or, if you're a once a month kind of person...set it 30 seconds back, it will be exact in the middle of the month, then + 30 seconds at the end of the month....and repeat..

There is too much to life than to fiddle with your watch all the time...

Nice piece of advice, Larry!

I seem to vaguely remember that Eddie "Directioneng" uses this method with his watch(es), if I am not mistaken?

I would hate to sync my watch behind the actual time even though its a gainer (still inside COSC).

Example:
Check time for national news or favourite TV show.
Looks at watch....yeah OK
Goes to TV lounge..... s***t! It's already started

I sync mine on the first day of every month.
