| Let's be clear on this forward / backward thing. Traditional (analog)
clocks / watches don't mind / care if you turn them forward or backward to
set the time. Truth be told, many / most / some have a feature that uses
your occasional forward / backward adjustments to fine tune it's time
keeping mechanism.
This assumes they are NOT the type with fancy features such as "day / date".
The fancy ones use a special wheel to advance the day / date wheel at /
about midnight of each day. This cam wheel (like my girlfriend) doesn't
like backward. The only option being to go forward 23 hours.
Now, let's move on.
