[time-nuts] time-nuts Digest, Vol 84, Issue 25

[Burt I. Weiner]

Being in broadcast I need to know what time it is. I wear a wrist 
watch with real hands on it so I can tell what time it is.  For a 
wrist watch, I personally don't care for a digital readout.  I grew 
up with a wrist watch that had real hands and I learned to tell time 
and how much time I had simply by looking at the position of the 
hands, I didn't have to do any math at all in my head.   All that I 
need to know, for example, is that I need to be somewhere in 3/4 of a 
turn of the big hand.  In my case I don't always need precision time, 
I deal with that separately.
