Can you tell the time on an analogue clock?

[marjolica@social.linux.pizza]

@MelissaBearTrix yes, +/- 12 hours.
Noting I still wear a solar quartz analogue watch on my wrist.

@MelissaBearTrix
Yes I can, though it can sometimes take a while

@MelissaBearTrix I prefer analogue clocks.

[agowa338@chaos.social]

@MelissaBearTrix No, cause I don't have one. How would I use something I don't have to tell the time? /s

[teezeh@ieji.de]

@MelissaBearTrix Is this a serious question?

[driusan@doomscroller.social]

@MelissaBearTrix@gives.hugz.online Sometimes I forget to wind it and it falls behind and isn't accurate but generally yes.

@MelissaBearTrix Are you trying to tell us that Gen Z can only read digital clocks?

[drewcommins@mastodon.social]

@MelissaBearTrix During my last physical, I was asked to draw hands on a blank clock face to show a specific time. The nurse said that's a standard test they give after you pass a certain age.

[reiddragon@fedi.catto.garden]

@MelissaBearTrix@gives.hugz.online only on 6h clocks

Yea, and tho I prefer the numbers, I really like how the analog dials visually show the progression as a cycle, rather than "well you see this one resets to 00 after 59, but this one resets to either 00 after 23, or 01 after 12, flipping the morning/evening indicator one increment earlier"

@MelissaBearTrix there are people who can't?

[mbr@blahaj.zone]

@MelissaBearTrix@gives.hugz.online as a wearer of a mechanical watch, yes.

[gringlegrif@mstdn.ca]

@MelissaBearTrix Both of my children can use them too
