British summer time and OBDeleven.

Blimey you lot are fussy, you want the lights and wipers to sort themselves out, the car to park itself, to keep you in lane, brake itself, steer itself and tell you when you are too close to the car in front. AND set the clock twice a year! You may as well not bother and get taxis everywhere

Of the above, I want automatic lights and wipers. And for the clock to set itself. The rest I can take or leave. But I don’t like comments from passengers who snigger that I have to adjust the clock myself when their 03 plate Corsa does it automatically. My MacBook, iPhone and PC update. So should the GTI. End of.

You should count yourself lucky. I had the added inconvenience of pressing a button to open the doors this morning. I was so disgusted at having to set the clock that I was actually thinking of selling up.

On a more serious note does anyone know why mine offers a choice of setting the clock manually or via GPS, yet regardless which is selected you still have to set it manually? Or does that just apply to the time as opposed to the time zone?

It’s terrible isn’t. I had to unscrew the crown on my watch, pull the crown out once, flick the hour hand forward once, then rescrew the crown back in. A £12 Digital would probably do it for me!

I think the point is, the car is ram packed with technology - yet something that costs the manufacturer nothing, yet would be genuinely useful isn’t included. Yes I know it’s easy enough to change but not when you’re already driving along and suddenly notice the time is wrong. Then forget to change it when you arrive at your destination. It just becomes an unnecessary annoyance and not very VW.  Anyway rant over. If that’s my biggest gripe with the car, things can’t be bad at all. 😁

Would that be a ROLEX GMT Jim?

Yes, the one click hour hand gave it away!

Thought so, did you know that only moves the hour hand and not the GMT hand? That function is intended for trips on aeroplanes between time zones keeping the GMT hand on local time. To correctly go forward or back an hour and keep the hour and GMT hands in sync you should stop the watch and wind the minute hand round 60. This moves both and keeps the two aligned.

I too have one in case you were wondering... Here's mine having a wash.

GPS (like most things military) broadcasts time in ZULU (GMT, UTC+0). So you need to apply the local time zone offset to it if you want local time... not that the military ever use local time anyway, its always ZULU, to avoid confusion in global operations...

Snap - blue black is what I have as well  Yes, hour hand clicks back and forth for easy changing of hours - think for pilots originally. The annoying bit is a date change as have to wind it round twice to move date by one!
