Icon20 Trf time

Hi all

Just out of curiosity, how many of you actually synchronize your watches(s) to the TRF time display?

If I knew how, I'd start a poll!

Who care about the time?

It´s enough for me to fiddle with my watches.

Also if you download the screen saver from Rolex it will synchronise to your local time

Hey pal, the time on the TRF time display is the time on your computer, what's so special about it?

CKay, I was about to post the same until I read your post

I use the the same site as John when I need to change time on my watches like last night when daylight saving began down under.

The time on TRF is only as good as the time set when your computer was setup.

I use http://time5.nrc.ca/JavaClock/timeDisplaySE.shtml

It not only displays the correct time, but also displays how far off your computer time is.

I sync mine with my cell phone. It may not be the EXACT time but it's consistant and I can easily check it against my watch at any time during the day. Works for me.

Daylight saving started today, and it really seems like it is hard to keep pace with everything

Having said that I'm off to work now to do 5 hours listening to clients and taking statements on this glorious sunny Sunday

This is an interesting site, as well as having a useful 'current local times' world clock. Handy for setting GMT watches...
