off-topic Do you use 12 hours or 24 hours format?

[Ja sa bong]

Ever since I've been a kid, it was 12 hours format I was taught when learning how to tell time. As I grew up, I started getting used to the 24 hours format. It's what I love using more now. It sounds so professional using the 24 hours format.

What's your favourite between the use of 12 hours or 24 hours format?

 

[Harsh World]

In the military, we used 24-hour time, and in Japan, up until recently as you just mentioned it, I believed that it defaulted phone clocks to 24-hour.

It looks like my phone is set to 12 hour now. Though, I couldn't tell you if I changed it or not after an upgrade.

However, when writing, I will use 24 hour at times to not confuse people on the exact time I mean.

Before, I was only familiar with 12-hour time system but I also learned the use of 24-hour time system recently. Now I use both. The 12-hour clock is perfect to use in daily conversations with friends or relatives. However, when it comes to time tables, travel times, or work shifts, the 24 hour clock should be adopted.

Yea I think both clocks are useful, but I am currently in a 12 hour time zone at home because it helps me avoid confusion. If I say; I have a flight 3 am or pm, people can understand me easily. I mean, it's straightforward. That is why using the right clock for the right situation makes life easier.

I'm not good with using 24 hours format. I only know 12 hours format and that's what I've used all my life. This is why I don't make use of digital wrist watches because most of them are set in 24 hours format default.

If you add the AM or PM, I'm quite sure that no one is going to be confused about the time you meant unless it's stressful for you to do that

I use 24-hr format everywhere. My fiends joke that if I could make an analogue clock 24 hours, I would because I love it so much. It is more intuitive for me because it makes it easier for me to gauge how close or far I am from midnight since I work a lot at night.

When I used to wear a watch, I always wore analogue watch, so I used 12 hours format. After I stopped wearing watch and started using my mobile phone for time, I started using 24 hours format. Now, I only use 24 hours format.

It's the common thing about life. You become used to what you're doing. When you disposed yourself to wrist watch, it was 12 hours format that worked for you and same with smartphone digital time.

I am accustomed to the 24-hour format because timing is extremely essential for me to execute some task. I prefer using 24 hour time because it is less complicated. Still, I can understand that a person who has been brought up with the 12-hour format would experience more ease with it.

 

[Niyi Brixx]

I am quite indifferent about the time format I use. I can use each as much as my instincts tells me to. Though, I prefer to use the 24 hour format when dealing with someone that is outside my country. And the 12 hour format when dealing with someone within my country.

 

[Augusta]

Well, I have always loved to used the 24 hours cycle since we have 24 hours. So it is easily to use same

24.

 

[Kross]

My primary source to check time is my phone. And it has been set to always use the 24 hour format. And I am okay with it. I don't see any need of having to change it. I am using the 24 hour format then, even though it is not what I set.

Yeah, it's more easier with the one you started with it. It's like languages too, the one which you're introduced to first would more likely be the one you will learn and use more often.

I love the 24 hours time format because it is very precise and quite easy to understand. It gives clarity and there wouldn't be any confusion especially when you need to set time for a task that needs to be accomplished within a specified period of time.

 

[Shortie]

Growing up, I could only ever use the 12-hour format and always struggled when it came to telling the time if I was asked what time it was from a 24-hour time set on a clock.

Now that I am an adult, I am not happy unless I have a 24-hour clock, as I am so used to that now, I would hate to go back to 12-hours on a clock.

Ever since I started working online, I have been using 24 hours format. I use 24 hours format because I do not have to add PM or AM when I talk about time.

I am doing the same. Working online has made me change the time format that I make use of, especially when I am discussing with clients online.
