do you set your watch or clock to 12hrs timing or 24hrs timing?

I prefer to set them to the 12 hour timing. My computer is set to the 24 hour timing and I hate it. OOps never mind I see my husband changed that for me.

I prefer using 12 hour timing - I use it on my laptop and mobile phone, it's just so much easier than really thinking what the time is from 24 to 12. I mean it's bad enough when you wake up and you look at the time, and you think it's 6.30 when it's really 5.30 - so then trying to work out what time it is in 24 hours...just wouldn't happen for me.

We set ours to 24 hour time, but that might be because we are ex-military and always talked in 24 hour timing rather than a.m. or p.m. In fact if we are looking for a new clock, then we will try to get one with the 24 hour time rather than anything else. I guess it is all about personal preference and what we have been bought up with that determines which one we choose. :)

I've always liked the idea of using 24hr time, it just seems more international, but the truth is I use 13hr because the 24hr always had be calculating what the 12hr equivalent of the 24hr time was. I just couldn't remember the 24hr numbers consistently...

i always operate in a twelve hour clock, it feels odd and strangly militaristic when i hear people using the 24 hour clock
