    You can eliminate even that layer of "annoyance" by getting one of
    Casio's Waveceptor models (it has a built-in receiver that syncs the
    watch to NIST/WWV time signals daily ). Mine's served me well for
    several years, seems like I paid ~$90 when I bought it.

    An added benefit is the "Time Memo" function - press that button from
    the Timekeeping mode and the date and time is automatically stored (I
    think it holds about 30 of them, more than enough for a series of
    celestial sights). And with that you don't even have to remember what
    time you started the stopwatch from, either.  :-)
