Set Your Digital Watch to February 29

Ever get frustrated that your watch doesn't recognize February 29th? Your watch has no way of knowing it is a leap year and skips from February 28th to March 1st. There's a quick way to set your digital watch to February 29th in a leap year.

Steps

 * 1)  Read the instruction manual that came with the watch or play around with the buttons until you figure out how to change the date. The method for doing this varies depending what type of watch it is. It usually involves holding down a button for a few seconds.
 * 2)  Change the date to March 29th so the watch should read 3-29 (29-3 in Europe).
 * 3)  Change the month back to February without changing the "29". The watch should now read 2-29 (29-2 in Europe).
