I know this fantastic complication skips the 31st on a month with 30 days and jumps the the frist. But does it this leap year? I'm really wondering, so please let me know.

Thanks in advance

If you can make a little video of it that would me truly awesome

It doesn't even differentiate between a normal February 28 and March 1 (you have to do that manually every year), so answer to your question is no.

Annual Calendar vs Perpetual Calendar

It's not even a real Annual Calendar because you have to make the February/March change manually right? That's pretty weak imo.

ONLY ONE ADJUSTMENT PER YEAR

This annual calendar automatically differentiates between 30-day and 31-day months. It displays the correct date throughout the year and requires only one adjustment a year – on 1st March, February having only 28 or 29 days

I believe the SAROS annual calendar mechanism treats Feb as a 31 day month, i.e. in Feb, date transitions will be 28 -> 29 -> 30 -> 31. It does not matter if it is leap year or not.

I'll confirm with videos later.

At present it is showing 2/29.

AFAIK ALL annual calendars need one manual correction per year. Otherwise they will all become perpetual calendars. IMO Sky-D is a perfectly fine and real annual calendar, nothing wrong or "weak" about it.

29 -> 30 as expected. Will check tomorrow if it goes to 1 or to 31. I am pretty sure it will go to 31.

Annual Calendar = needs adjusting once a year

Perpetual Calendar = never needs adjusting

It is an Annual Calendar, a real one at that.

Perhaps there is a firmware update available that rectifies this "problem".
