      Mine does too but even though it (and my oven) tell the time I look at my watch, phone, or the dedicated clock in my living room

        it’s not just about the microwave returning to clock function. It’s also about the microwave being returned to it’s normal standby state so that pushing the buttons functions as expected for the next person.

        • I don’t wear a watch, especially not while I’m busy in the kitchen
        • My phone is usually on my pocket, and it’s easier to just turn my head than to reach into my pocket, pull out my phone, and turn it on. And also wash my hands if, again, I’m doing kitchen stuff in the kitchen.
        • The microwave is in the kitchen, which is a different room than the living room.

            Mine does.

            Even within a few hours of setting it, it’s usually off by at least a few hours. My microwave is usually pretty accurate to within a few minutes, even after days.

                  I wear a watch so it’s not a problem. Actually, what IS a problem is that my microwave is also a convection over / air fryer but they didn’t put sufficient thermal insulation around the electronics/display, so the display is slowly getting cooked and the LED segments keep dying one after another. It’s becoming difficult to see how much time is remaining when I cook stuff.
