Approximate Time

Watches that tell the time approximately: Talus Watch.

Digital watches are inexpensive and precise. But, this precision comes at a cost- a quick glance at a digital watch displaying 12:58 does not convey the very human time scale of "it's about 1 p.m.". Digital watches make it all too easy to miss a meeting believing it is closer to noon than to one. Analog watches are better matched to human needs, but suffer from mechanical problems, difficulty matching the hour tick-mark to the hour hand, and poor legibility in the dark.
