As an American who uses the 24-hour time, so many people use 12-hour I basically still use 12-hour.

    Not much of an improvement over the standard design. I already know that the clockhand pointing to 1 means that it’s either 1 am or 13 o’clock/1 pm, but it still doesn’t tell me unambiguously which one it is.

      Well, unless you’re hanging out near one of the poles, it’s pretty easy to figure out which one it is with minimal effort.

        It’s vexing from a design standpoint, and TBH my sleep rhythm is bad enough that I do have an issue with it sometimes.

      Well yeah, functionally it is the standard design. In terms of making a readable clock, this is probably the most practical. Anything more would require some major changes to the mechanism.
