I have no end of complaints about cloudwatch but them automatically parsing datetimes and presenting them in my browser's timezone is a godsend.
(I always set CW back to UTC, for consistency)
I also remember that AWS used to display some datetimes in Pacific Standard Time, which is completely useless to somebody outside the US, however I haven't seen that in a while anymore.
Similar to the global language switch I wish the AWS Management Console would allow setting in which timezone to display datetimes globally as well.
