@MelissaBearTrix@gives.hugz.online really depends on the design of the clock tbh

@MelissaBearTrix@gives.hugz.online if it's just two hands with no digits then yeah no fuck that I'm just looking at the position of the sun to determine the time of day

@MelissaBearTrix i couldn't for a long time and still can't at a glance, i need to actively look at the numbers and process it for a few seconds
if there is no numbers i need to count the lines

@MelissaBearTrix I can also tell the time on this #Counterclock…
I really should put a new battery in that sometime…

Sometimes I mix up some stuff for whatever reason, also I need longer to read the time on an analog one.As I was still wearing smart watches I always used an analog watch face as I think they look better as a worn clock than digital ones.

When I see a reverse clock it gives me a nightmare ... A had a customer that I had to source 30 of them
And all different, pre internet too ... Giggles

@MelissaBearTrix Clearly I'm the only one who said no. To explain that, I could but I forgot how. The last time I had a tactile/Braille watch was when I was a kid which is a long time ago, and I can't remember which hand is which.
I've always found those watches cumbersome so have used digital ones since. -

@MelissaBearTrix Yeah I know people who can do it instantly. Dunno why they call them braille when it's not. I suppose the dots are similarly spaced like the 3 dots to indicate 12.

@MelissaBearTrix Saw one on the RNIB shop that has diamantés for the dots.

I mean, I _can_ but I feel annoyed about it. When they taught me as a kid I kept thinking "but we can write the numbers now, why do I need to learn to read it this way?". I still mostly feel the same way.
In a sense you could say that an analogue clock is... anachronistic?

That would be nice, but with real diamonds ... Giggles
I've seen pictures of very old pocket watches that used some unusual ways to help sight impaired people to feel the time

@MelissaBearTrix@gives.hugz.online @arcadiagt5@mstdn.social Ah. another enjoyer of counterclocks.
When I was young we only had one of those at home. I was better at reading them then I was at reading normal ones. My mom often said it was a Belgian clock due to them being the source of a lot of jokes in the Netherlands.
Now that clock is hanging in my place, confusing all the people that visit. -

@arcadiagt5 @MelissaBearTrix Make sure not to put the battery the wrong way around
