@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]
