I put a clock on the dash, because though the factory clock works, not all the numbers show up.
Regarding so many time devices around, I still wear a wrist watch, with an analog face. Suits me. But last time I tried to buy a band for it, I had to search around. At one store where I would have thought they had watch bands, a clerk looked completely dumbfounded by the idea of a watch band. I had to tell her what it was. Then an older clerk stepped in and said they had some. They were exactly what I wanted, leather, specifically for my Timex watch, and Timex brand themselves. They had a bunch, hidden at the bottom of a display, and marked down to 99 cents from the original 9 bucks, because they were trying to get rid of them. So, they got rid of them -- I bought all six.
