The funniest related instance I've encountered was:

> at work with a 20 year old intern in the stock room

> clock on the wall above the door

> intern asks "Hey, do you know what time it is?"

> I look at the clock and say, "5:30pm"

> intern says "Thanks, my phone was dead"

I was in shock for the rest of the day a person less than a decade younger than me doesn't know how to read an analog clock.



Somebody with a wristwatch can develop a superior sense of timing when working. It is quick and distraction free.

Wristwatches are underrated. In the trades a $20 watch could pay you $x000 a year if it saved some minutes each day.


In EMT training, they had to repeatedly tell us all to get watches with a second hand. It felt like the stone ages.
