   It is solar and only digital.  I mentioned before that I just keep it on   
   shelf below my lamp near computer.  Must be around 20 years old and I do   
   not know where the manual it.  I could probably adjust it but do not   
   wear it and don't want to spend the time on it. Years ago on a new car   
   it must have taken me a half hour to figure out how to change the time.   
   It is just annoying how some of these devices behave and prompted me to   
   start the thread.   
      
   Watch I wear now is a smart watch keyed to cell phone and much lighter   
   than clunky atomic watch.
