I, myself, go by the computer time. Or, if I am not on the computer I have certain clocks around the house that I can tell time with. When I am away from home I don't know what time it is. I used to have a sports watch in my purse but it no longer works.Facebook and Mylot don't have time telling instruments on them do they? How about yourself?

I have a digital watch in my left trouser pocket (I never wear a wristwatch), a pedometer with a time display in my right trouser pocket, my computer, and the radio which gives regular time checks.
I also have my late grandfather's clock ticking away behind me. He was presented with it in 1898 and it has been chiming the hours and half-hours ever since!

@Rosekitty, .....The sun won't be out much here. We get an inversion that hides it most of the time in winter.

I use the computer or the iphone when I'm near them. When I'm outside I use the position of the sun to know the estimated time.

I don't have that option in the winter since the sun is hidden by inversion.

@celticeagle In the winter I just keep in mind when sun set is, and know the rough time it is.

@celticeagle Yep, I have plenty of ways to tell time, as I am always looking at the time so it is nice to have clocks on different devices and a clock on the wall.

@poehere ....Have had several wrist watches but because of my body chemistry they don't run long.

@celticeagle I got my first watch for Christmas when I was 4. Never been without once since then. Great to have and easy to use.

@celticeagle That's what I observed among my personal friends. They depend a lot on their mobiles.

My phone serves as my clock also. Our wall clock stopped working since last Monday but didn't mind. I will have to fix it soon because my husband told me to do so. Haha
