Discussion
19 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: Seiko museum wadokei clocks, Masahiro Kikuno temporal-hour watch (2011)
Concerns raised: Location permission timeout before initialization, Excessive zooming causes user whiplash, Unclear how far to zoom to find nearest SS pair
Feature requests: Continuously check for location permission changes after timeout, Highlight nearest SS (seconds) pairs while keeping HH:MM centered, Find all seconds in region around HH:MM time, More engaging 60-second wait experience
