For those who aren't familiar, this is how you read this. Just add up the columns where there are lights.

* 8 * 8 * 8
* 4 4 4 4 4
2 2 2 2 2 2
1 1 1 1 1 1

So the last panel doesn't have any 8s and is read like this. You add the columns.

- 4 4 - - 4
- - - 2 2 -
1 1 - 1 - 1

And adding those columns gives you:

1 5 4 3 2 5

Fuck this, too much brain power needed to simply tell the time. I'll stick with my smartwatch (FWIW I at least use an analog watch face 'cause although I'm dumb, I'm not that dumb).

Pebble

This is the level of watchface I need to tell the time quickly

My dude, this is not something you should be bragging about.

Not bragging by any means, more of a "my brain needs one less thing to worry about" situation.
