I deal with clients who regularly cross time zones and have deadlines in those different time zones. I want to show what time zone a date/time field is reporting as a reminder. They are so used to doing the offset calculations in their heads that the reminder would help.

In other words, is there a non-convoluted way of finding the time zone of the device? The ‘ZZ’ of DATETIME_FORMAT will give me offset. That would be easy enough without daylight savings time. With it, I’m casting about for an easier way.

Maybe using a GMT field in conjunction with a time zone specification field (a la ScottWorld’s thinking) is the way to go.
