Clock that automatically sets itself?
I have 2 of those alarm clock/radios that automatically set the time when it is daylight savings or if the power goes out it will automatically reset to the correct time when the power comes back on. For some reason mine both did the daylight savings change TODAY---and this is not the first time they have done that on the wrong day.
I'm guessing the program is off or it needs to be reset somehow so that it knows the correct day to change on but how do I do that? Is that even possible or do I just need to get a new clock?
I don't mind resetting it manually but I bought them specifically because they had that feature that they can set themselves so I'd really like for that feature to work properly.
Resetting it myself is not usually a big deal except for days like today when it surprised us by resetting to an hour earlier and made my husband almost an hour late to work because he thought it was 7:30 instead of 8:30.

They are programmed wrongly. Couple years ago, Congress changed the date when day-light savings takes affect in USA.
So, you will have to set them manually, would be too expensive to re-program those clocks now.
Since you only have to do this twice a year, what's the big deal?

Your clocks must not be "atomic" clocks. Those have a simple radio raceiver and adjust the time based on a signal transmitted from NIST. Those clocks would not be affected by the change in the date.
As the other poster said, there is nothing you can do now.
