I suspect the problem you're seeing is, "analogue watch". That's not the problem. (Forgive me if I have assumed wrongly! ;)
As every frequent traveller should know, if you have a watch (any technology) that does not self-adjust (for some value of "self") then it is strongly suggested that you adjust your watch to you destination time zone the moment you get on the plane.
This has long been known, so the problem really is "person who unwittingly failed to adjust their timepiece to their destination timezone".
- viraptor 11y agoI'm looking at it from the UX / motivation side. There's no trigger to change the time manually and people are great at forgetting things when there's no external stimulus. I see the issue not as people failed to adjust their timepiece, but as people relying on technology which relies on them to remember to do actions after events which they passively observed. (plane landing) Theoretically it's the same thing, but in practice "don't make me think" applies. If we can make watches adjust themselves, it's a really good idea to do that.
