GW-M5610 with a titanium bezel in \"Starry Green\"

Congratulations to Brazil for abolishing DST for your whole country!

When I received a GW-B5600 two months ago, it was at 50% charge. Wore it a lot, put it near a window when not in use, but it stayed at 50%. So then I tried putting it closer to the window, but winter sunlight just wasn't enough to raise the state of charge. Left it several nights under a bright LED lamp, but no improvement: it was still at 50% after two months.

Yesterday I remembered I have a 20 Watt halogen lamp, so I put the watch a safe distance under the lamp and left it for several hours... lo and behold when I checked the battery level that night it had climbed to 75%! Was this a fluke? Had my earlier attempts already brought it to the cusp of 75%? Well today I did it again. I

More than 100 years ago, Germany the United States of America, and other countries started their bizarre clock changing rituals often called Daylight Saving Time (DST).

We are now well into the information age and as-of 2019, sixty-nine countries that once used DST now disavow this literal anachronism.

Can you imagine the world returning to the mean astronomical time of each respective time zone all year long? How would it affect you?
