Puzzle 129

I recently gave a new watch to my friend for their birthday.

However, as usual with my presents, it was quite useless as it gains 6 minutes every hour.

I set it using my own accurate clock at midnight, and the watch now shows 8:26am.

I know that it stopped 30 minutes ago, so what is the correct time now?

A 'complete' word is a word in which every letter, in turn, can be replaced by another to form a new word.

For example, RUG is a complete word because:
-ug = hug
r-g = rig
ru- = run

How many of the following words are not complete words? Proper nouns and names are not allowed.
