12 or 24 hour digital clock

[LambdaDelta]

which do you prefer and why?

24 hour for me, since I find it visually nicer without the am/pm text taking up even more space

 

[Hat']

24h!
It's what we use in my country and I just think it makes more sense!
Same thing for kms, kgs, celsius and everything else that makes sense but that the US refuses to use. Too bad for them I guess.

 

[LambdaDelta]

oh yeah, and another benefit for the 24 hour clock: don't have to specify or ask about if am/pm, of course

I prefer the 12 hour clock because it’s what I’m used to since I live in the US.

However, I wouldn’t mind using a 24 hour clock more often. I would agree with Hat’ that it’s stupid that our nation refuses to use measurements the rest of the world uses. It just doesn’t make sense to me.

I think 24 hour looks nicer and makes far more sense, but I personally enjoy 12 hour more. I don't know, it feels like there's less time.

 

[Buttonsy]

In theory, the 24 hour clock makes way more sense, but I grew up with the 12 hour clock and it would take way too much effort to get mentally used to a 24 hour clock.

24 hour clock, we use that where I live and while I use the 12 hr one if I talk to people not using it it's a bit meh imo. Honestly it doesn't make sense.

As an American I always use the 12-hour clock, but I don't mind using the 24-hour one too, although I'm not really used to it.

 

[Noctis]

12 hour. Sometimes the 24 hour confuses me when someone from the other side of the world uses that on me.

 

[Corrie]

The 24 hour clock logically makes more sense to me but I grew up with the 12 hour so I struggle with the 24 hour clock.

 

[Lavamaize]

Personally I use a 12 hr clock so I like it better, but I think a 24 hr clock would be more efficent.

 

[Princess Mipha]

I prefer 24 hours, because I always switch up PM and AM, which is annoying. <-<

 

[Sweetley]

I prefer more the 24 hour one, as it's also the one that gets used here where I live.

 

[Wildtown]

i use a 12 hour clock

 

[That Marshal Fangirl]

I use a 12 hour clock because that's what I've seen my whole life. I find 24 hour clocks confusing as I think about time with am and pm. It makes it easier to have a 12 hour clock because I'm currently in college and I can remember when my classes are better. It's easier to remember when anything when you only have the numbers 1-12 to worry about.

24-hour for me: although I can tell the time fine with either one 24 is one I can understand a little better.

 

[idiotdoomspiral]

12 hr ones are easier to read

except when ur trying to work out different time zones

 

[moonbyu]

i grew up with the 12hr clock although the 24 hour one looks really nice though.

 

[Snowesque]

I wish I grew up using the 24-hour clock since it is more informative. I have to look it up sometimes as I easily forget!

 

[MelloDimensions]

My preferred telling of time, thank you.
