The reason I ask; I never used to, but I've found the PineTime alarm actually very useful for waking me up in the morning. It's nice and quiet but still gets me up which (1) means I don't get annoyed with the sound and immediately snooze it whenever I hear it and (2) it doesn't wake up my roommate.
But I'm still not entirely comfortable with sleeping with my watch on.
@unixepoch My yougest kid often wakes me up in the night. I like to quickly know what time it is so I can calculate the odds of me falling back to sleep or if I might as well just get up now.
A glance at the watch let's me do that.
@unixepoch I have made mistakes though.
In the dark, the lit LEDs on my binary watch are quite bright and I cannot always place where they are relative to the switched off LEDs. Thus when it is very dark this:
⬛️⬛️🟥🟥 [3]
Can look like this:
⬛️🟥🟥⬛️ [6]
And that is how I once got up at 3AM and started getting ready for my day (I assumed it was 6AM).
@unixepoch For this reason I actually bought another binary watch recently that looks like this (see screenshot).
I do not really need the (decimal) number prompting to help me calculate binary but it should neatly avoid that kind of mistake, e.g.
⬛️⬛️2️⃣1️⃣ [3]
is quite distinct compared to
⬛️4️⃣2️⃣⬛️ [6]
