you've awakened the watch nerd 

@lyliawisteria@weirder.earth I'll jump in with a defence of the humble clock

They're great

They let you coordinate with other people, I mean if you're always on your own then maybe not but if you want to meet up with your mates at 6ish to go <activity> then clocks are what you want

Otherwise you have to be all "We'll meet up when the sun's about... thereish" and then it's cloudy and you either wait around for ages or they're waiting ages for you

@lyliawisteria@weirder.earth that's not to mention all the other ways clocks help out

Navigation, for example. GPS for a start is just a bunch of clocks in a trenchcoat

Want to find your longitude at sea? Literally impossible without clocks

Most automation needs clocks too

Clocks: they're fucking awesome
