On how many watches did you reset the date from 31 to 1 today?
For myself, the answer is 16. So I started wondering if that is normal (LOL!). I have more automatic watches, but they were not on winders or the date/time was already off, so why bother. 😜

I can stop any time. At least that’s what I keep telling myself.

None. I forgot. 🤔

Well get to work! 😉

To be fair I'm wearing a no date watch today so...
One.
I set them as I wear them.
The digitals take care of themselves.
Wow. I’m already starting to think I’m a statistical outlier…
I only care about the correct time/date on the watch that I am actually wearing.

Ok. I included zero in answer A just now
Just the watch I’m wearing at the time 🕰️
31 to 1 is a piece of cake. End of daylight savings time is coming in!

oh man.. the struggle is real !
It won't let me edit the post to add this picture, but here it is. Been wearing this Seiko "turtle" a lot lately. Something about the case shape... it's so comfy!

In other words, you're normal! 😀
Just on my lunar pilot. The others in my collection of over 20 are mostly no date or autos which only get set when worn.

Well....somewhat normal.
I only wear Patek, Vacheron, and IWC perpetual calendars so I’m good 🤞😂.
I did change all of mine today and had four watches with dates to change.
Must be nice! 😜
Really none, as I cranked them to 31 yesterday.*
It seems that I have three analog quartz calendar watches, which all got re-hacked to the second as I bunged up the time while playing with date. And that one Seiko 5 automatic nuisance.
* Don't all y'all go to the next short month and set a reminder on your sailfoam? It'll be November 30th. Go, now.

I think you just blew my mind. I might start doing this. Setting to 31 on the last day of a short month. At least I could do some ahead of time. 😜👍🏻

A benefit of this is being sure you aren't 12 hours off. If you set to the 31st in the afternoon, and the display reads the 1st the next morning, all is well. No midday surprises.
31?
Although I wore 2 watches today one was a no date. I don't always like the date function on a watch so I only have dates on the watches I wear for work (3 in total) other than that I tend to chose ND watches. Makes the 1st much easier on my OCD 😂
Just one at the moment. Others will be done as they get worn through the month :)
Black Bay 36 and GS SBGX009 so… no need. And the G-Shocks take care of business on their own. 😊
I only own six watches with a date complication, only four of which need to be adjusted.
My short budget and simple vintage love means I don't always get to enjoy the feeling of correcting dates. I can't wait for February though!
Good post !
Days like today is why the love of a no date watch is so strong.
Good post !
Thanks. I had no idea I’d get so many responses! Pretty awesome. 😊
Darn, don't wanna look 😩
None. I never set the date on my watches 🤷🏻♂️
I don't bother for my mechnical/auto watches as I'll set them when I wear them. I'll set my quartz watcheswhen I get home as part of what I enjoy is I can just put them on without seeking the time and date
