How do you set the time on your watch?  email this discussion to a friend?

Do you set the time advance than the correct time, or do you set it late? Or you just set the exact time? Me I always set my watch advance than the correct time. I always put an allowance. It helps me to prevent being late. But sometimes I still got late because I know that my watch is advance. Lol!. That is how I set the time on my watch. I already used to it. How about you? How do you set the time on your watch?

That's funny haha... I normally set my watch 10 minutes before the actual time, like you said, to prevent of being late. However, if I start to work at 8.00 a.m. I seldom come in 10 minutes before or earlier, in fact I'll always arrive around 8.10 a.m. LOL!!


myLot reputation of 97/100. markmoney (848)   ranked 661 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

Oh, it seems it's not working for you. Maybe you need to advance it more. Make it 30 minutes before the actual time, that is actually what I'm using now. Lol! I hope you can get on time now. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

I rely on my cellphone for time but I always keep it ten minutes in advance. I do this to give me time not to be late in most appointments. But there are times I still get late because I know I've set my time ten minutes in advance (same as you .. lol) And then there are times when my friends say they are not late just that my time is advance that's why I should not really so panicky in time.


myLot reputation of 97/100. markmoney (848)   ranked 661 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

That is also the problem on that, when you remember that it's advance, so it's like it's back to actual time. Lol! Just keep on adjusting your time, and find the time that will work for you. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

Yeah, I set an advance 15 minutes but also like you, since I know the time is advance, I simply minus 15minutes from it back to the original time! Kinda beats the purpose,lol!


myLot reputation of 97/100. markmoney (848)   ranked 661 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

Haha! Yes, that is the problem, when you remember that it's advance. It's like it's back to actual time. Lol! Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

When i was still working, i also prefer to set my watch 10 minutes earlier. So, when i saw the time on my watch, i know i am reaching my office, always 10 minutes earlier. Since i was a homemaker now, i prefer to set my watch the exact time. But, i still set my alarm clock, 10 minutes earlier, so i won't wake-up in a rush. I had been practising it for a few months, and feel it had helped me a lot...


myLot reputation of 97/100. markmoney (848)   ranked 661 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

It's good that it works for you. Because sometimes the problem is, we remember that it's advance so we will not hurry up. Lol! But good for you that you haven't experience it. It's really good that it works for you. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

I set my watch on the exact time. It helps me do my work in time also i am not delayed thinking thats its early or late. Bu ta few years back i used to set my watch 10 mins advance but that would never make my scheduled tasks to finish in time i used to be delayed by 10 mins. So i deceided to correct myself and started setting my watch for the exact time... And it worked for me prefectly. Now i finish my tasks in time or a bit earlier. Try it out!!


myLot reputation of 80/100. crazynified (176)   ranked 11,305 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

You know, I might just do this! I find it better to set it at exact time, yeah! But currently my watch is sorta damaged. :(


myLot reputation of 68/100. midgefaria (193)   ranked 6,607 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

Hey!! its good that you want to try out with the exact time setting... Just curious to know if you are presently getting your tasks done before time or in time without a watch ,as you have mentioned that your watch is not functioning properly.


myLot reputation of 97/100. markmoney (848)   ranked 661 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

You have a good practice. You seems to be a very disciplined person. It's really good for you that it works perfectly with you. That is the most ideal. Maybe I will try it out, hope I can easily adjust. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

I normally synchronize my watch exactly with the time we have in our work. Like now, the time in our work place is 15 mins. advance compared to the time we have at home that we based on the time we saw in TV. I just want to know exactly if I am near to being late or I still have lots of time while I'm on my way to work. Of course I don't want to be late for work.


myLot reputation of 97/100. markmoney (848)   ranked 661 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

Yes, that is the better thing to do. To adjust your watch to the time at your workplace. The other thing you should do is to avoid looking at the clock in your house. Lol! Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

I keep my watch running a few minutes fast as that way I am not late for an appointment! When working on my computer, I can so easily forget the time and as I work here in between work clients, I need to take care that I am ready for them... lol - Derek


myLot reputation of 97/100. markmoney (848)   ranked 661 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

Yes, it's really worthy to set our watch advance, as it will avoid us from being late. When I'm usin0g the computer, the time seems to run fast. Lol! Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

I set my watch and my time to the clock set on the Weather network or any other channel that displays the correct time. I know not all clocks in the world aren't right. I try to set it exactly right so I won't be late for appointments or meetings with friends or relatives.


myLot reputation of 97/100. markmoney (848)   ranked 661 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

I see. It's good that you can discipline yourself, that you doesn't need to set it in advance time. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

I set my watch to the exact time. No point of setting it in advance when I know I'll use the extra time to delay and ended up delaying more than I am suppose to. I find it amusing how some people can set their time later than the exact time. Are they avoiding getting old or what? LOL. But I like mine as it is, exact to the seconds!


myLot reputation of 97/100. markmoney (848)   ranked 661 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

Yes, that is the best setting actually. Setting the time advance is not really effective sometimes. You are indeed a disciplined person. Yes, I also wonder why there are people who set their time late. Maybe to have an excuse. Lol! Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!
