"Need to advance the minute hand 30/40 % into next minute when setting the watch. So for 1300 hrs queue up the second hand at zero and watch stopped, put the minute hand about 30/40% of the way to 1301, and then start the watch when atomic clock hits 1300.00. Not perfect but visually looks right"

This works for me as well.

The kid who said he sets his by the microwave or car stereo made me spit out my drink. It is so true. Since the birth of my daughters I'm lucky to remember to grab a watch on the way out the door in the morning. Thanks for the laugh.

I can understand this. The chronograph's seconds hand on my Navitimer World doesn't accurately line up with the 12 position and is fractionally to the left. It bothered me initially, but then I learned to love the imperfections.
