Or I can use my other watch to set this one. 🤷
-
I finally got around to setting this after the last switch to DST.

It's Sunday. I don't need precision. One hand is enough.
-
And yes I know you all prefer the classic one.

I needed a little break from a ternary encoded display, so I went back to one of my old favourites. French Decimal Time 🇫🇷.
As a side note, since it is no longer DST in Europe and I'm the same timezone as the Swatch headquarters 🇨🇭, it's also actually the current valid time in .Beats (a.k.a. Swatch® Internet Time)! 🥳

How about more time trivia then. So what is the deal with 12 hour clocks if we have 24 hours in a day? Furthermore, why 24 hours? And if they are 24 hours in a day, why are there 60 minutes and 60 seconds? This seems illogical, right? Maybe we should decimalize it, like we did with the metric system!

It's that time again. Luckily I have all the tools and a bunch of different batteries, so I can just do this myself.
-
Back to sensible times.

Sent the first picture to one of my unicycle friends with the comment, "5:80 already, the day is flying by" and he replied with "True" and the second picture.
-
Dead on 6.00 decimal (14:24)
-
Take two of trying to get to bed before 9:60
-
It's almost 9:60 here. Time for bed methinks!
-
After two weeks with lots of trains (and hence some precision for times being needed) it is nice to go back to the single handed #DecimalWatch
-
I'm told the time cannot be 7.86 but if that were true, how come both my watches state this.
-
It's 4.60 already!? This day is flying by.

@RedFreljordian FWIW Today I am halfbiking™ with my single handed decimal watch. 🤓
-
Since my LED watch might have upset people (being slightly misaligned) I'll switch back to this.
-
@encarsia Yeah I definately have that lined up nicely now. This was taken at exactly 5.40 decimal [12:57:36]. Spot on! 😉
Also while this interface is imprecise in measurement, the accuracy is probably better than many of my other cheap watches. It has a Ronda 515.24H quartz movement, that their documentation claims is rated to an accuracy of -10/+20 seconds per month.
In my experience, once I get it set, it hits the markers correctly until the next twice yearly time change.
-
@moira @jarek No, the seconds are shorter. 1 decimal second is 0.864 SI seconds. 😉

P.S. Yes today I am acting as "reply guy" but since I regularly wear a decimal watch, display decimal time on my Android phone and also have devices that show Swatch .beats, I'll admit I failed to contain myself. 🤪
Anyway here is one of my watches with a picture taken at exactly midnight.
-
Yep looks right to me
-
Finally I got my watch set correctly!

I mentioned to one of my newer colleagues (who is not yet familiar with the full scale of my craziness) that I needed to leave soon as it was already 6:95¹ and hence getting kinda late.
Him: "No its… wait… what?"
[I showed him my watch]
Him: 😕
¹ 6:95 = 16:41 [4:41PM]

I never explained directly here how I use the #DecimalWatch.
I am not often converting between decimal and standard time. I just look out for significant events for which I have learnt decimal equivalents, like wake up, kids to school, work start, lunch, work end, etc. It is also nice to track roughly where I am in the progress of a day. There are other time sources at home and the office when I need precision, for meetings I have a calendar. A travel app takes care of public transport times.
-
But it is 4:00 (09:36) now. So yeah... I should get a move on. This time for realz!!! 😆
-
It's 3:20 already. Man, I'm running late!
-
I am half-tempted to get the #SensorWatch myself so that I can run the prebuilt alt.time firmware and display Beat Time (a from of decimal time) on a classic Casio. ♥️

Given it is 10:32 I should probably go to bed
