when i was in florida last year i purchased a watch from wallmart.today at work i suddenly panicked when my watch was showing 3.25pm...i realised i only had a short time left to finish the job at work..when i told my collegues how little time we had left ..they looked surprised and told me that it was only 2.25pm
I am from uk so am i right when my watch has three letters also appeared on it "D S T"that this means daylight saving time in usa???is this the right time for my watch to correct itself??or has it done it prematurely as in uk we do not alter our time yet.....any help from across the pond appreciated....

I needed a wristwatch with a stopwatch that didn't make noise (long story), so I ended up with a Timex Ironman. I haven't owned a Timex in years because they usually can't stand up to the envelope of bent time I carry around me (another long story) and they usually quit after a couple of months of speeding up and slowing down and generally NOT keeping time.
This Ironman, however, has turned out to be a great swimming watch, even though I didn't buy it for that purpose. Since it's an analog watch, you can set the stopwatch with the pace clock and not have to worry when the guy standing on deck teaching adult swimming lessons in the far lane won't stop blocking your view of the clock with his massive girth. I've had it for a couple of years now, and it seems to be able to keep time even on my wrist. It's also taken a couple of good dings without leaking.
If I could only convince my pager, computers and the wall clock in my office to keep time when I'm around them, I would be in business.
