RRING: Read minutes fast – see hours clearlyUpdated a month ago

At a glance:
On the outer ring, each tick = 1 minute. Every 5th minute is labeled (5, 10, 15 … 55).
The current hour appears on the inner display.

Read the time in 3 steps

  1. Check the hour: Look at the inner display.

  2. Count the minutes: From the last labeled number on the outer ring, count the small ticks (each = 1 minute).

  3. Combine: Hour + minutes = time.
    Example: Inner display 7, 2 ticks past 20 on the outer ring → 07:22.

Everyday examples

  • Inner display 3 + minutes 1503:15 (time to head out)

  • Inner display 10 + 3 ticks after 3010:33 (snack break)

  • Inner display 12 + at 0012:00 (lunchtime!)
