Do you miss seeing clocks everywhere?

[sage2021]

It seems since almost everyone has a cellphone they can get the time of day on their phone or computer. But I noticed that there just aren't clocks hanging around anymore and I miss being able to look just about anywhere I went, there was a clock on the wall. I knew what time it was at a glance. They even took the big grandfather clock out of the lobby where I live.

I guess the band Chicago's song "Does anybody know what time it is"? says it all. 🕰️⏲️⏰⏳⌚⏱️

We have four clocks on our walls. Plus we wear wristwatches.

Like this one I took at Grand Central Terminal

Exactly 🕰️

I love the clock they have, but more than that I love how they hung up a huge American 🇺🇸 flag there.

[Likes2drive]

Yeah I hope it’s still there, I took the photo before Biden took over

I've noticed that in businesses, too.

In the historic town near us, there is a nice clock. I like public clock towers.

I prefer clocks with hands.

I got a really nice watch band with gold and diamonds for a 20th anniversary award from the company I worked for. I was always able to find a cheap watch with a matching gold-colored finish to go with it at indoor swap meets. But those have disappeared.
The band eventually broke and I transferred the gold and diamond portion to a tie tack.
It's hard finding watches these days that aren't expensive with lots of features that I don't want. I prefer twist-o-flex bands, too.
I miss not having a watch and plan to buy one again one of these days. I don't like having to pull out my phone to see the time.

Timex still makes a pretty descent watch. There still tough enough for everyday work wear, but still cheap enough. You don't get all bent out of shape if you break it

I just bought a new Timex for like 30 bucks at Target

@humanearth. Thanks. I've been procrastinating for a few years. I'll check it out.

@humanearth they take a lickin and keep on tickin

[sage2021]

@Lliam
I think that's why I posted the question because of what you said.
It can be a hassle to pull it out just for the time.🕰️

The one I really miss was the digital clock that was on my cable box. The new boxes do not have it

[sage2021]

@exitseven
Yeah what's up with that?
Remember in the real old cable box days when if the electricity went out, the box kept flashing 12:00 until you fix it? It was maddening!
Even the kitchen stove had a built in clock - some came with a timer.
Do they still have cars with digital clocks on the dash?

[exitseven]

I have a new pickup and the radio display has the time on it

[TrueConfection]

My family has been complaining non-stop about the missing digital clock since I got rid of cable. They don't care that I cancelled the service, they just miss the clock. 😂

[exitseven]

@TrueConfection buy a digital clock at Walmart

[TrueConfection]

I can only find digital alarm clocks, nothing that looks decent in my living room.

[exitseven]

@TrueConfection yes, same here/ I even looked into buying the components and building it myself.

[TrueConfection]

That idea occurred to me too! 😂

[exitseven]

@TrueConfection I looked for a digital clock module I could mount in a small metal workbox but nothing really would work.

[humanearth]

I never owned a cellular device. So I still use watches and clocks

[KrakenAttackin]

Absolutely. I enjoy having clocks, especially those that display various timezones.

[sage2021]

@KrakenAttackin
I love having clocks around me. In my apartment I have 6 and one outside on the balcony.⏰

[Kori1236]

I work in a hospital I see clocks literally everywhere lol

[asphaltrhymes]

I still see the time shown in public places. Usually it's a digital screen 🙂

[nolabels]

I don't.

I'm retired, rarely leave home, and although I don't often need to know what time it is, I have clocks plastered everywhere within as well as outside of my home.

So, no, I don't miss clocks at all.

[Surely]

A lot of the younger generation can not tell time on a clock with hands!

[Sixgunsound]

Being on time is racist to leftists who have the soft bigotry of low expectation that minorities can't tell time or are too irresponsible to manage it.

[FunkyMonkee]

I never go anywhere so, I never noticed.
The Chicago song was trying to say, who cares what time it is! Just live your life as YOU want to, not as the clock "tells" you.

[Sparkie460]

I guess there were too many clock watchers at work so they removed them all. It doesn't bother me that there aren't any clocks, I have a phone that has the time

[sage2021]

@Sparkie460
So, if the electricity goes out in the place where you live and you don't have hardly any charge left on your phone, then no power to charge your phone, then how will you know what time it is?

[SpaceGalaxy]

humans love to advance in technology and then miss what they have left behind. It is our nature and that is why, in many cases, the past usually "seems" better" and "missed."

[TheSpaceGnome]

There are still clocks everywhere as far as I can tell.
