The clock on the wall and watch, yeah, I actually use those for time. Everything else is more like, lol wtf does my coffee machine need the correct time for anyway
How do you understand the wall clock though? Its 12 hour, it requires complex visual parsing. I understand if one didn't have a digital clock (which can be powered by a fucking CMOS battery for ages), maybe they could use it. But I've seen these wall clocks at a job that required fast decision making and keeping track of time, and I quit immediatly cus it took me a solid 15 to 30 seconds to parse wtf is fucking displayed on those, and that quickly got in the way of doing the job itself.
I posted this somewhere else but I struggled into adulthood with analog clocks and learning to read them changed my relationship with time. I forced myself to learn to do it because I read about how it can improve time management skills. Now even my smart watch has an analog watch face, and one that puts my daily schedule onto the clock itself even.
Being able to read the hands and their movement kind of give a better sense of the units and movement of time itself. Totally recommend learning to properly read analog time.
That's the biggest skill issue that i've heard my entire life lmaooooo
