New Yeah, perpetual is the way forward for calendars.
I have one of these:



Bit of an arse to set, but once it's done, it's done.

The G-Shocks do all that, of course, and also look after DST transitions, too.

New Pity that it's a ƒail..
If it won't tell me the name of Today, forcing me to pay attention to a time-sequence.. well,

(Besides, a few weeks of nuclear winter? there goes the capacitor charge: it also lacks the world's teensiest |---| crank, for just that situation.)

New Ahh. DST, also too. Clever.
I guess that since it refers to the WWVB timekeepers, there's no risk of it becoming obsolete if Congress changes when DST starts and ends, or they add a leap second, or whatever.

Adjusting a watch manually for DST wasn't too annoying for me, but leap days were always a pain on the Citizens I had. They had a 12 month calendar, which was normally great, but that one day every 4 years...

I did like mine a lot (I still have it - probably should get it working...) - one thing I wish it had was brighter phosphor spots for the dark. Even with all their models, it was hard to find one that was a reasonably small size that had all the features I "needed".

Cheers,
Scott.
