Whoa! My heart's racing!!

Hello!

It's 9:35pm in Malaysia as I write, and while I'm laughing now and thoroughly enjoying this once in 4 years event, boy did I get the fright of my life?! Not having read the manual, I had no clue about these one off changes at 9pm and 10pm on 29 Feb, this being a leap year. Can you imagine my utter disbelief when I looked at my watch and saw Feb 30???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My first reaction was that I had been sold a lemon, and then rushed to look for the manual and luckily found the explanation that has brought my heartrate back to some semblance of normalcy. Really hope (for their hearts' sake) that there aren't any more dumb clucks like me around.

I missed the change from 29 to 30 Feb, but am staring at my watch so that I see the change to 31 in another 20 minutes.

Hi Nicolas, I plan to advance my watch a few hours to enjoy the change with some friends. Good luck. Bill

Thanks, Bill
