Set the watch 5- 10 minutes fast.. Do u do it???

All of my clocks are at the right time because any time that I tried it in the past, it actually was a bad thing because I would panic for a second when I looked at the clock and then relax and say "oh no its fast, I got plenty of time" and would still be late.....my dad on the other hand has had his alarm clock an hour fast for as long as I can remember and it works for him...I giggle everytime my boyfriend looks at that clock and says "holy crap, its that time already?!!!!?", and he has done it about 10 times....so it works for some but unfortunately, not for me

i only have my alarm clock set fast so that when it goes off i know i don't have to rush and run around like crazy so i set it 10 minutes fast that way every one gets up on time.

I set my watch 10 minutes earlier than actual time. This is to prevent that I be late for any function. Also, by setting the watch earlier, I have a feeling that I can have more time to do the things that I want to do.

Yes my clock in my bedroom is 10 minutes fast. When I wear a watch the same thing. It prevents you from ever being late I think.

I used to set my watch 5 to 10 minutes fast when I was in school, but it didn't help because I knew that my time is 5 or 10 minutes faster than the correct time.

I only set my alarm clock faster 10 minutes. Because i want to make sure that i can wake-up 10 minutes earlier than usual, so i won't need to be in hurry. Then, i got extra 10 minutes to prepare my things for the day. As for my watch, i prefer to set the correct time, so i will know, the exact time to come home to do cooking and household jobs. It's good to set the alarm clock 10 minutes early, so you won't feel need to hurry to wake-up...

Yes. I have been doing this for a long time..! All the clocks in the house have been set ten minutes ahead, but its really stupid because no one in my family actually follows them..lol.. but like everyone is like, "Oh don't worry, we still have ten minutes". So in the end we all really had the same amount of time, but it just seems like more.. Anyway I am so used to it too and it was set because I was always late for class.:) Happy myLotting

Well I am different in this area.Instead of setting it fast I rather set it slow.I don't know why I do that but it works for me.May be it creates panic and I do things quickly.Many people have pointed out on why I do that I myself don't know the answer to it..

Hahahaha, a lot of people are doing that. But in my case, I do not. I always set it up on the right time. I am not sure but my basis for the time is the weather station. Usually they are monitoring time correctly considering that time is very important for them. So I always synchronize my watch with their time. Well, I think it would still not work for me whether I set it up in advance since I personally know that the time is in advance. I am glad that it works for you....

I dont agree with your opinion. if you are setting your watches 10 miniutes or 15 minutes, you know that the watch is fast and you will take that five or ten minutes into account when you are doing something. I never used to keep my watches fast. My wife used to keep the clock and watches 15 miniutes fast. Whenever, it alarms, she used to say it is 15 miniuts fast and she used to sleep another 15 minutes extra. So I dont think setting the clock 15 miniuts fast is useful
