I do, but it's not analog. I need a large digital display that includes the day and date (and time in military format). When you're working on a patient (and the Patient Care Report) in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night at the end of a long shift, you need all that info easy to read to put in the PCR...

They were all but a thing of the past. Now half the engineers at work are wearing new Apple watch phones.

That doesn't show the time.

It shows the time you have left.

Assuming that the timer is kept orthogonal to the ground, the top part shows how much time remains on the timer, and the bottom part shows how much time has elapsed ##-## of course, @fresh_42 being a math guy, and knowing the starting conditions and the characteristics of the device, he can tell how much time remains or has elapsed, from a quick glance at either end. :wink:

Couldn't it show how much time remains until, e.g., dinner is fully baked but not burned?

You don't want a psychic death watch that tells you how long you have to live? You would rather have a potato report?

The checker at the local store knows I don't drink and asked why I often buy alcohol. "It's for my dates", I replied. "You don't think I'll get anywhere without alcohol do you?"

PS The checker lost it and I heard people behind me in line laughing.
