I think it should be right 4 times a day, even a painted clock is right twice a day.

If you mounted it so that it was viewed in a mirror the hands would look right (I think) but any numbers would not. Perhaps one of the 'cat's resident crafters could work something out, shouldn't cost more than say 10x the cost of the watch, and certainly a one-off.

As for why it is doing this, no idea whatsoever.

We all grow old, but that doesn't mean we have to grow up.

It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

Neat! The only way I know to "reverse" the aging process isn't actually reversing, only stopping. And, it's not a real good option!

Aliens! Isn't that the kind of trick these Little Grey Men are supposed to pull?

Why are you complaining? At least twice a day the time WILL be correct! :)

Last week, on vacation in Seattle, my Mrs. woke up, saw that it was full daylight, and then noticed that her watch said only 4 a.m. Then she realized that the watch was running backwards. It still keeps perfect time, but in reverse. It's a common quartz, button-cell powered Timex; it had been perfectly normal since purchase about 6 weeks before.

One of our friends says it was subjected to a strong magnetic pulse that reversed the poles of the motor. But that would have had to happen about 5 a.m., on a bedside stand, upstairs, in a residential neighborhood, in calm weather.

She just called Timex, and the rep said, in effect, "I'm sending a paid mailer marked to my own attention; this I gotta see."

Have any of you ever seen this happen? Any theories as to why?
