'''Finding North using a watch:''' A watch can be used to find North. This approach works more accurately the further your latitude is away from the equator. Also, the most accurate results are obtained when your watch is set to [[solar time]], that is, the watch reads 12:00 when the sun is directly overhead. Depending on the time of year, [[standard time]] can vary up to two hours from solar time. [[Daylight saving time]] can vary as much as three hours.)
