I invented a statistics watch. Somebody make an Apple Watch app for this. Can be set to coin or dice, with i.i.d, ARMA or ARIMA statistics (with rounding). In-app purchase necessary for balls-in-urns.

Other ideas: Julian date watch, stardate watch, watch based on that cute waitbutwhy essay on time-to-go before you die, measured in various units. Or % progress bar of current year.

An ARIMA watch would of course need to be wrapped around with a mod function so it doesn’t integrate to infinity

Now that telling chronological time is a less important function, other ways of structuring time experience become interesting

Trip odometer watch. Like a stopwatch or countdown timer, but tracking long-term state of a big project. Days Since or Days To, with a pause button and perhaps link to project tick-tock signals like sprint meetings.

Heartbeat based watch where you measure out your life by pulse rate. 80 beats=1 “biominute” maybe.

Various watches and clocks were made in France to celebrate the 200th anniversary of their revolution, some of the highest possible quality, and all with both ordinary and revolutionary time. I only have a diary, but a splendid production it is.
