Not sure if this is something that is frowned upon, but I'm just curious if other people do it. I tend to set my watch 15 minutes ahead of time, which in same strange way helps me get to meetings ahead of time (or at least on time). I actually noticed that all the clocks in my house are 15 minutes fast too (not done by me).

...or do you guys set it tepat tepat?  :Laughing_on_floor:

U lack discipline.  Tsk tsk tsk.  Just kidding.  I used to that.  Setting it forward.  Not 15 minutes but maybe 10 minutes.  But to me, now, as i get older, i try to be more accurate.  On the dot time setting against Astro decoder or something.  But does not work on all watches as some will tend to run faster after a few weeks.  Rolex is accurate, and Valjoux 7750 is accurate.  Even my ETA 2824 is accurate on my Oris.  Lemania on the Moonwatch aint accurate, run fast 5 mins after one month.  But thats ok.  U have your iPhone to re-coordinate.  My small Breitling now runs faster, altho COSC from factory, i never serviced it for 9 years, so thats the problem.

Setting the time faster only gives me more time to procrastinate knowing that I still have more 'actual' time as opposed to the time shown on the clock, watch etc..

This is self-comforting but beware cos "you may not run out of time thinking you still have time". My quote of the day. ;)
