Just while we're on the topic of clocks ...
The functionality of the Apex resetting the time correctly for us
is definitely cool. It definitely confused me the first couple
times the machine changed the daylight saving at the wrong time
.. Does it just mess up for Southern Hemisphere?
And also, I remember with the MPower, its clock used to get
gradually faster. Like every 4-5 weeks, I'd have to pull it back
2 or 3 minutes. And I don't know if it's just me, but the Apex
one seems (judging by my other clocks) to get a little bit slower
- not as slow as the MPower one went fast, but just enough that
if you're not paying attention you start turning up a tad late to
class after a few weeks ... Has anyone else found this?
Also just out of curiosity, has anyone tested out the reliability
of the Apex's stopwatch as an accurate timer? We know that the
stopwatch, if you stop it without clearing and then exit, it
keeps running, and also that if it displays for example 5.6 s,
what it really means is 5.06 s. Just curious to know if it keeps
pace correctly against other stopwatches?

For sure, Humanware has definitely programmed in this
functionality and it's very useful indeed! I was just curious
about what source they were using to keep the clock settings
correct.
If you do a 4-5-6 reset it actually shouldn't mess up the time,
since the clock doesn't have to do in any way with the files on
your flash disk. I suppose it could mess up the time zone, but I
haven't found this to be the case personally.
