The watch that checks itself ...
This watch has a built-in long-wave receiver which is tuned to the Atomic Clock transmitter controlling Central European Time and it is programmed to "check in" once a day at 2am.

So that means ... that you no longer wake up an hour early when the clocks are changed. What a great invention.
