    The only clock I don’t bother setting was the one on our old coffee maker. It kept lousy time and would drift by a significant amount. We’d never use the timer functionality of it anyway so I just left the stupid thing be.

    Long ago I had an alarm clock that docked with my original iPhone and it not only didn’t support 24 hour time, but drifted. Remarkable.

      I don’t know, I always reset it. It’s one more clock to remind me of how much/little time I have while I’m drinking coffee first thing in the morning.

        Our kitchen has several visible clocks but the adjoining dining room deliberately has none for that very reason.
