My mobile telephone tells the time so I don't wear a watch.
It can be used as a telephone as well, which makes it better than most watches.

Or buy your lady an expensive watch, would a Casio do it?The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

I wouldn't blame yourself - most mobile telephone UI design is abysmal. I think they get the developers to do it, and the vast majority of developers know zilch about UI design (look at just about any open source application for proof).Originally posted by zeitghostOddly, so does mine.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to set the time so it consistently tells me the wrong time.
I feel so
I had an Ericsson phone whose text message editor got slower and slower as the message got longer - towards the 160-character limit, it took it about a second-and-a-half to append a new character.
I soon worked out that internally, the developer was simply appending the character to a string in a language (Java, perhaps?) or using a library which has an immutable string type - so every time you appended a character, it had to determine the length of the existing string, allocate a new block of memory one character longer, copy the existing string into it, and stick the new character on the end.
Rookie mistake - no wonder the UI sucked if they couldn't even do basic software development
(Explaining what happened if one moved the insertion point back a few characters and inserted a new character within the existing string is left as an exercise for the reader.)Comment

Where are the numbers, for goodness sake ?
Any watch that takes more than 2 seconds to work out the time, is frankly, a waste of time. Oh the irony !
Gimme LED any day.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
