I discovered that my "magic" touch doesn't just work on watches. Two weeks ago my mouse died and I had just changed the battery a month prier. So, I gave it a try and did the same thing I do with watches. It worked. As a matter of fact it has been working ever since. So, I figured I would give it try with my cordless headphones. There's no batteries involved so, I didn't expect it to work. I don't have any speakers, just the headphones. When I ran out of power in the middle of a movie I thought eh, why not give it a try. It worked. I got to watch the rest of my movie before I had to recharged the headset.
My trusty Timex Expedition watch sometimes loses a couple of minutes. It doesn't cause any real problems in my life so I just reset it and roll on. Yesterday, the calendar part suddenly jumped backward a couple of days, however the time was unaffected. I know it's hardly paranormal but weird just the same.
I used to work for a wholesale jewelry and watch repair company. That's where I found out that if you ever had a problem with a timex watch you just send it directly to the manufacturer and they send you a new one. No questions asked. That was back in the 80's, I wonder if they still do that? Timex takes a lick'n and keeps on tick'n. Remember those commercials? lol
Are you saying that the clock went backwards 5 minutes? I don't think they do that. Somebody is messing with you.
I don't know what the deal is. I have an identical clock in the kitchen which doesn't have the same problems. It could be corrosion due to it being outdoors. I put it in the direct sun a few years ago to get the sunlight temperature and the whole screen went blurry with the liquid crystal going everywhere.
This morning the La Crosse clock in the backyard was one hour fast and the year was 2023. Maybe something happens on this date two years from now. It only shows the year when setting it.
