Apple Watch and Being on Time

One thing I loved about my analog watch is that I could set it five minutes ahead of the actual time. You would think after a while I would adjust and that five minute buffer wouldn’t help much but after a couple of decades it is still useful. Until very recently I didn’t realize that a lot of digital watches support this crutch. The Apple Watch is my most recent timepiece and in Settings->Clock is an option for setting the watch face display time ahead. All that was required was touching the option, and then using the crown to adjust the amount of time from 1->59 minutes. It’s not a universal setting. The watch still keeps track of the real time and many features still use the real time but when I glance down at the watch face I get the false time, but enough buffer to get to the next meeting on time.
