Who need to "read" a watch? I just "listen" to mine in the corner...with 1/2 hour chimes to boot. Close enuf!

Is that the wrist watch or tank bag model?

I'd never be able to figure out the time after a few brews.

Once you get the hang of it there is no addition, I can glance at my watch and see 4:19.

How in tarnation do you make the "spring forward" or "fall back" adjustments? I have trouble with that. I have to get the Buell owners manual out every time.

Interesting time to choose there, Froggy.

I usually don't on any of mine, as its not worth the hassle, and then in 6 months I don't have to change it again. : )

Anyway with my watch, hold down the bottom button 5 seconds, the hour row will flash, and tap the top button till the time is correct. Tap the bottom button to go to the minutes row if that needs adjustment.

And 4:19 was a random time picked off the top of my head and has no significant meaning ; )

"Not bullshit if you see a kid in highschool these days. One of my friends grew up and only learned how to read digital clocks."

Yeah, funny thing, we were just talking about this here at work the other day. There was a report out that showed the younger generation is having an increasingly difficult time reading traditional clocks, simply because they don't encounter them enough.

I guess the traditional clock face will eventually pass from existence once that generation becomes the business leaders.

Yep that wouldn't surprise me. Also, my sister who is 18 can't do basic addition without a cash register or calculator.

"can't do basic addition without a cash register or calculator."

At the bank the other day, I answered a very simple subtraction problem for the teller while he was busy searching for a calculator. A few minutes later he found his calculator and verified that the numbers were correct.

I could almost understand it from someone in a job field not dealing with numbers, but a bank teller!? wtf!

btw, build your own binary clock:

looks easy enough

I think it would be really funny if someone bought one of those watches and learned to read it wrong. If you set it wrong when you first got it, you would be wrong whenever you read it, and not even know it!

That's not funny. My mother could do that with a regular watch.
