I heard a guy tell stories of his crazy behavior when he thought an ex was cheating on him. One thing he did was get a cheap wristwatch and put it in back of her car tire. He would get the watch in the morning to see if and when she left her house to catch her in a lie.

Direction, motherfricker. Look! 3 o clock. I got your 6, etc.

What is one thing a clock with hands can tell you that a digital clock cannot?

A digital can't say shite. It's just blank.

If all you have is a digital clock you can draw the clock hands on paper to find north.

Why would you need an AM/PM designation?

I'd have to be on some serious drugs not to know that one.

It can tell you direction. Not sure that's what you're looking for.
