RE: UTC Setting (was: Service message: Daylight saving time starts)

Splendid idea. Hopefully they do more than 'just talking'.

I've just bought a radio controlled wrist watch. No buttons at all and truely 
read-only. As a programmer I always get frustrated by my keyboard with ... well 
MANY buttons, and I always press the wrong ones.

Of cause - If I migrate to US I'll have to go to Europe at every DST 
transitions in order to make it work, but imagine: No buttons!
