Every appliance in my house (with a clock anyway) and all of our clocks (2 analog, 2 digital) require manual changing. None of them are connected to the internet, which I would think is the only way they would be able to. Do they really make “smart” analog clocks now?
Ah, I forgot Atomic (radio) clocks existed. My parents used to have one of those over a decade ago, but I always saw them as more of a novelty. Not saying they’re not valid, just uncommon IMO.
I feel like mechanical clocks to account for daylight savings this would be a bit off after one or two leap years; could be doable but a bit complicated to design? Kinda fun to think about
Definitely. I’m still going to spend time fascinated by the idea of the gearing and clockwork to make a clock that tracks year/month/day and accounts for leap years.
I’d be more than okay with permanent standard time, myself.

Radio controlled clocks exist. Not everything needs to be connected to the internet.

Some have some kind of date tracking built in. But it’s fairly rare.

I mean they would be, but that would still be much less clock-changing to do.
