    I've tried it from the bios, that doesn't work. windows won't let me update because the time won't stay set. Its really driving me nuts. It keeps reverting back to 2006, and the time is always about 4 hours back.

    Double click on the watch, and disable update internet time, and play around with settings there

    Anywhere really. But I guess your best bet is a PC Shop. May be even a supermarket sells them. Or a local DIY shop?

    A jewellery shop (where they sell watches) ?
