How do you tell time?

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!

I don't think even if I had a sundial I would be able to tell the time by it.

@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.

As a general rule I use my mobile phone, which has the advantage of showing the correct time for whatever time zone I happen to be in.

If I am on the compute than I go by that time, I also have clocks throughout my house. When I am away from home I can check the time on my cell phone.

@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.

No longer have a clock in most rooms of the house, except for a small alarm clock in the bedroom. The microwave and stove keep me in touch with time, as well as the computer. When I'm out, my phone makes sure I'm never late for anything.
