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?
Edit: my car is somewhere in between. It’ll “automatically” change, but I have to turn it on/off. It’s basically just automated the action of moving the hour forward or back.
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.
Who still needs to change their clock manually? Even my 12hr analog clock adjusts itself automatically.
I have a number of clocks that still need to be changed manually. A few wall clocks, the one on the oven, one in the car, etc.

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.
