- craz8 8y agoAnd now you’ve added 2 configuration options that need to be tested, documented, and supported for probably 20 Of your customers This is exactly the hidden complexity that HN users love to add to products that adds no real value and sells no extra product
- awinder 8y ago2? It’s pulling time from gps so it’s 1 config option for time offset, defaulting to 0. Anyways, android and iOS and Mac and windows and etc all have the ability to fetch time or use gps to set time with a user override to do their own tricks. We all woke up today so I think the world survived.

- FreakyT 8y agoThis is the approach that the Apple Watch engineers used, and it remains the only device I've seen with this option. Does anyone here with an Apple Watch use the time offset feature?
- wool_gather 8y agoYes. I've set my clocks a few minutes ahead for years, and I do the same on my Watch. It's nice to have, but the helpful illusion is not entirely maintained: it is only the main watch faces that display the time with offset. There are other views where the current time is shown incidentally, and it is the actual, non-offset, time.
