Is it an analog or digital clock? For the analog ones, there is a synchronization procedure so it can “learn” the positions of the hands (it doesn’t know where they are; it learns them once then remembers how far it’s moved them). This needs to be repeated periodically, such as when changing batteries.

Whenever I buy new socks (Gold Toe for me), I always buy 42 identical pairs. That gives me six weeks of socks. They last at least 5 years. Then I replace them all at once.

I buy all identical socks each time, all the same style and color, so that I don’t have to waste time matching them. After I wash them (once every six weeks) I can just dump them all in a drawer. Done.
