These are just pieces of complements for Bill gates, not true.
Imagine when he has to attend a meeting and he is calculating the exact time. :D

FAKE for sure..

As Vishal Gupta said.. How will he attend his meetings and other things on time..

It must be true that he takes everyday a challenge to do something new. Great man he is!!

I have heard from my friend... on a quite high post in MS (in OS department.. dunno the details)... that Bill Gates even attends some meetings wearing shorts and T-shirt..... And it wasn't looking as if he was lying....

It might be a bug in his watch, like his softwares but he is just trying to hide it by saying that its a feature

If this was one of the reasons for his success, every other person would sport that sort of a watch. This is just a cock and bull story.

When I was in high school, I had modified the classroom's clock (we had one on each class) to rotate in the anti-clockwise direction. I had actually done it so that I won't fall asleep on certain classes (anti-clockwise rotating clocks are refreshing).

Why didn't I (and my classmates) so rich?

(Is it that I should have modified my wrist watch?)
