Do you set your time fast?
I have always liked 3-4 minutes fast. Feel like it gives me a little margin. What about the board??

I typically reset mine at 1 min. slow and then only reset it once every couple months.
 More than 2 min off either fast or slow drives me a little nuts........so I can't do that.

No. I reset mine once every week or two. My wife, on the other hand, has every clock/watch set ahead by anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes. It drives me crazy whenever I get in her car. And the funny part is, she knows how fast each individual one is, so it doesn't even give the benefit of "fooling" her into leaving early.

Nope, dead on once per month on the first of the month (GMT is usually 29 to 31 seconds fast by then).
I also do the "40 manual winds" weekly, right before church starts. |

I keep mine 2 min fast due to it running about -5 sec a day. I also hate being late so it helps a bit.

No, my girlfriend does this to all the clocks in the house and it drives me crazy. Her reasoning is that "she's never late." I have to keep my watch set to the correct time because every other clock is set at least 5 minutes fast.
