I have a "table" clock that can turn it off.  There is a DST on the
display that indicates it's turned on.  I believe my watch does too
but since it's not summer, it has the DST indicator off.  I'll have
to check but that involves first fining the instructions and second
finding a magnifying glass to read them. :)  IIRC, I did turn it off
during the summer and the hour changed accordingly.
