What is the best way to handle February 29th with this model?

Thank you,

Read the manual is the most common suggestion.

Figured that we would get this question in the next few days

Use the pusher at 8 o'clock to adjust the date - that de-couples the change from the week / month so can compensate for it. if you advance the date from the 28th to the 27th on Tuesday that's the simplest if you can live with the date being wrong on Wednesday. That way it will all change to March 1st correctly on Thursday.

Edit, tried this yesterday and the day / month advanced as well. No big deal as you can just adjust those separately afterwards with the appropriate pushers - month at 9 and days at 5.
