Maybe they should teach students how to tell time!

Truth: the last car we rented had both a clock and a digital readout on the dashboard right next to each other. I suspect that real clocks will be like script/cursive writing eventually; only some know how to read it.

Cowboy my son saved his money he had been working his ass off for and purchased himself a dive watch. Not a cheap one, and it has hands and a rotating bezel. Smart kid, this stings a little but he takes after his mom hahahaha

Our high school honor grad college student grandson can't tell time from any of the wind up clocks we have in the house. If he asks what time it is and we tell him quarter after, half past or quarter to he asks what does that mean, have to tell him 15, 30 or 45. In Florida anyway, there are nothing but digital clocks in classrooms if they have clocks at all.

LTC Jeff Shearer Bet he uses it for stop watch dive timer functions not time telling.

Try teaching a kid to read a mechanical electrical power meter.

Well my thought is, it is a damn school, schools teach things, teach em. For the love of all that is good yall I dont look at my phone for the time, hell I dont know where it is most of the time. my watch is on my wrist all the time, sleep, eat, workout, shower. My watches are simple dive watches they have hands and a rotating bezel. Oh and it has a little date at 3 o'clock.

Cynthia Croft - CC that is cool however I recommend a dive watch for anyone. I never worry about getting it wet because it will survive a little water. At first I was surprised someone else felt the way did about watches besides my wife and I. Then it hit me, this is CC I am talking about, no surprise there, a great mind.

Reference the dive watch thing, really that is not a big deal most watches now are water resistant. no need, but I would check before I got into the shower with it.
