This Site is very international, isn''t it. So why not switch over to GMT instead of EST?? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Andreas Mähler Wolf359 Interactive

Isn''t it UTC nowadays? But I agree, you should switch to GMT/UTC (whatever it''s called).

You know, what the hell ever happened to the "internet time" Swatch was trying to promote in order to let people schedule internet meetings from anywhere in the world using a universal time? Just wondering, cause I read about like a year ago and I just remembered when my friend asked me about it when he got a new watch from Swatch. I think it never took off, but I don''t know...

I agree, it''s damn annoying to figure it out. Wouldn''t the best option be to include "Time zone" in profile settings and then show the local time? I don''t know if this is even possible.
GMT (UTC?) would be a good alternative.

Ah, Swatch @-beats. The first thing I thought when I read about it was, "Kinda like Super Mario Brothers." That is not a good thing.

No! GMT-3:30 is the best timezone! If you don''t believe me, fly, swim, or take a boat there (''tis an island).
