How many of you keep an analog clock up in view, and actually read it? I just recently got mine working again. :)

I wear an analog watch. I'm not sure that counts.

It counts! Whats the peice of choice? I haven't warn a watch in a while. Analog only, however I did switch over to a fitbit for a little while because it was a gift.

Knowing your line of work its chonky?

$6 temu special. I haven't broken it yet. That's better than the $30 chinesium unit I had at lasted maybe a month before I shattered the "crystal." This one even came with a NATO strap (my preferred style) that actually fits my upper-decile wide wrist. That's also rare.

The coating is incisors rubbing off and it never sweated up, though I do not trust it to be even water resistant.

10/10 would buy another one. I might, just to have it here before tarrifs hit and double the price. 😅

Nice! I like these “fleiger” style dials. Good contrast and easy to read.

That s not bad. I some point I started to like metal link bands. Anything but rubberized stuff. I could probably do the fabric too though.

Yes

Of course it does! I met a kid recently from Toronto my sister’s age that had no idea how to read analog.

I have a digital clock on my stove and phone, but the rest of the clocks I look at are all analog. I find it easier to read.

Omg #MeToo

Same. I stare at a digital clock for way too long. Like the analog gauges in my truck. I can see pretty quickly if somethings wrong if the needle is pointing to the no-no zone.

Same. Prefer analog because it's easier to read and calculate.

Yes, because that's how everyone Gen-X and older learned how to tell time. And add it, subtract it, calculate it, etc.

It was still taught through the 00s, I think they gave up somewhere in the early 2010s.

Got 4 around the house all getting updates from wwvb. Might add more.

You're the second person to mention wwv. I will have to check this out apparently.

What is it?

It is TIME for you to learn a new thing.

WWV is the callsign of a radio transmitter run by NIST that transmits an accurate time signal clocks with an appropriate receiver can use to keep themselves accurate.

Most clocks with this feature are sold as "atomic clocks" because WWV and the other radio time signals like WWVB and WWVH use the atomic clocks as their source of time.

Neat!

We do. Led light makes you sick so

Do you use grow lights?

No

Always.

On person, In kitchen,

And a 24 hour one in the shop.

You love to see it!

I hung one up a few months ago so I could put my phone on do-not-disturb and focus on my projects more fully. I didn't want to have to pick up the phone to see what time it was.

Very good reason. My phone is on silent 100% of the time!
