Art, unless your watch knows what year it is, Nike got it *wrong.* The
"75% solution," the one most watch makers use, is to roll from 2/28 to
3/1, since that's what happens 75% of the time. If your watch always rolls
to 2/29 it means 3 years out of 4 you'll have to manually set it to 3/1,
instead of only having to set it to 2/29 once every four years.
Of course, if your watch *does* know what year it is... that's "way cool."
