Ah, "done with it" you say? No, that only begins a whole new set of problems. 
Setting to UTC begs the question: what time frame are you in and whose 
definition of a second is your watch counting.

Traveling across timezones with a good clock brings you interesting problems, 
at the sub-microsecond level at least, due to earth rotation and latitude and 
due to relativistic effects of altitude and velocity.
