I just managed to make another watchface, this time (pun intended) it's always 11 AM, but the timezone changes every hour to where it's 11 AM in the world.
@koenvh That’s awful — I love it
@niklasschr @koenvh And I was coming here to say “Thanks, I hate it.” 🥸

@koenvh

A thing of beauty that is! Also a reason why I made my map app speak to me in Italian which I have low knowledge of but a reasonable desire to learn!

@koenvh Half an hour later in Newfoundland.
@Flux I implemented some logic to only use timezones that are a full hour offset from UTC. It shows a warning if you're in a timezone that is not a full hour offset, like India.
@koenvh I'm game for fractional timezones - the education!
@koenvh Absolutely correct information but completely unhelpful, kind of reminds me of Useless Maps
@sully @koenvh it's not too far off though, could be made usable again by giving the UTC offset and doing a little mental math

@koenvh

- lol

A new way to time travel.

@koenvh @EveHasWords Surely you’d set it for 5 o’clock and spend all day getting completely wankered. 🤔
@benjamincox @EveHasWords The idea came about because I have a tendency to say "good morning" regardless of the time of day :-)
@koenvh
There exists a proposal that all around the world should be the exakt same time.
That way, "Our online meeting starts at 1400 would mean for someone, early in the morning, for another one around noon, and someone else in the late afternoon.

Not sure, if it would have a lot of advantages, though.

@koenvh and now include ALL timezones to approximate 11 to the nearest!

like Kabul, Chatham islands or Nepal!
@koenvh
I like the idea but I would soon get very angry with that summer time gymnastics :)
@jfparis I actually do take DST into account, and yes, it's a real mess.

@koenvh
I am sure it is easier for you to take that into account when you write the software.

Worse brain damage is when you read the time 😀

@koenvh now I'm wondering if that kind of screen can get burn-in

@koenvh

You are a monster. A wonderful monster.

@koenvh Neat! Do you handle the Newfoundland scenario ?
@koenvh
Wherever you are... It's always lunch time somewhere.
@koenvh I had a similar thought about doing a Five O'clock Somewhere clock

@koenvh

oooooh change it to miller time and we're talking

@koenvh Hey @PetraOleum isn't this something for your weird clock project (It was your project, right?)
@Firesphere @koenvh I do it with 5pm, iirc
@koenvh you should submit it to that useless tech award, can't recall the name now
@koenvh that's what i like about you, you are always on utc time

@koenvh

If it's not a bug, it's a feature 😉

@koenvh what a seriously cool idea! is that so you can get an 11:11 wish every hour?
@koenvh I want this, but at 5-6 pm instead, so I can always say "It's 5 o'clock somewhere," and know exactly where.
@koenvh I hope it uses random timezones of the current offset, so the zones do not just repeat after 24 hours.
@koenvh are the specific timezones picked randomly? :D either way, beautiful.
@follpvosten Yes they are :-) (though technically I generated them randomly for the next ~25 years, so I could peek to see which ones are coming up)
@koenvh You can mess it further using these weird :30 and :15 and :45 timezones!
@koenvh What hardware is that and how do you create a watchface for it? :)

@NeroBurner It's a second-hand Samsung Galaxy Watch4 that I bought specifically for this purpose.
