Can you tell the time on an analogue clock?

@MelissaBearTrix@gives.hugz.online Speaking of which... Still need to replace that watch battery. Which means getting a battery (probably multiple) for it.

You can make one of your own...

@JigmeDatse

You should just get one and a good brand, even if it's a bit more expensive... It shouldn't leak, it will run longer and it's best not to have "spare" ones, as they only have a short shelf life ... Hugz

And if you need to ask me, I'll help

@MelissaBearTrix@gives.hugz.online As I was typing that, I was wondering if there is any reason to get more than you're likely to use in short time. Because I don't know if they really have much more than a 12 month shelf life (at least in terms of being reasonably likely to give expected life, without leaking).

@MelissaBearTrix I once had to explain to someone what the strikes and chimes meant on a clock tower, because they were complaining about it ringing so much.

@MelissaBearTrix but I’m quite elderly

@MelissaBearTrix
understood

can you read road maps?

[melissabeartrix@gives.hugz.online]

@treknor

Sure can and other maps if required ... Hugz

@futzle @MelissaBearTrix My youngest is 12 and can read analog clocks.

[jeremy_list@hachyderm.io]

@MelissaBearTrix My accuracy depends on whether or not it's got all 60 of the usual markings around the face.

[melissabeartrix@gives.hugz.online]

@bruce

That is a bit of a trick ... Give it a day or three ... Giggles

Do yourself a favour, dust it regularly ... If you have compressed air, make sure it isn't moist or drops when the air comes out

Why, the dust will turn to concrete, and the moisture will swell the "wood"

Most. But not this one:

Neither can I ... I spent too much time trying.... Giggles

[doubleaa@gamepad.club]

@MelissaBearTrix @yourfutureex We have a friend that cannot read analog clocks. She’s a schoolteacher. It’s slightly concerning.

[melissabeartrix@gives.hugz.online]

@Doubleaa @yourfutureex

That is

[mkristensson@thepit.social]

@MelissaBearTrix @saramg probably more relevantly, my teenage children can also tell time on an analog clock

[quietmarc@kolektiva.social]

@MelissaBearTrix Can I *be* on time with an analogue clock, or any clock, or any number of clocks? Um.......
