Clock issue in viewer

[DNSB]

This is a problem that only affects me from 12:00 to 12:59PM. In the view preferences I enable the clock and the time shows as 0:09 instead of 12:09.

That is a 24Hr clock just after Midnight.

And noon to 1300 hours -1 minute is 12:00 pm to 12.59 pm.
0.09 is 12:09 am, 9 minutes after midnight.
Though I see on the screen shot it's 0:10 pm which doesn't exist.

On Windows 10, the viewer Clock appears to use the format set by the Short date setting in Control panel->Region, if that is set to HH.mm (i.e. a 24 hour format) there is no pm or am… by definition.

And, as Quoth says… there is no 0.10pm, that's a Godot time

Sadly, right now it's rather light outside for midnight. It's noon not midnight.

When I looked at the regional formats, under short time, the clock showed 12:11 PM (standard format for English Canada). Not sure where the viewer is getting the 00 instead of 12. I may play with it tomorrow afternoon.

I'd like a physical 24 hr clock with hands that's not just a 12 hour one with extra doubled up digits.

If the Windows setting is "h.mm.tt" you get to see the AM/PM, I'll let you wait up to midnight to see what you get then

Search the antique dealers for clocks made by Charles Shepherd, he made the one at Greenwich.

The clock is inexpensive. Shipping across the pond

Quoth only has to get it across the Irish Sea - 20km at its narrowest point

Hmmm... perhaps it could be dropped off after crossing the Atlantic ocean? The site seems to located in Arizona, USA.

I suspect this is a North American Frequency (60Hz) version (if it uses a mains power motor)

But a different search, might turn up one over there that uses 50Hz 230V

From their website, the previously asked questions about the clock says that it uses 2 AA batteries.

Strange, it's showing me a price of £29.55, which is what made me think it was in the UK. I often get prices showing in GBP rather than AUD, don't know or particularly care why as I rarely buy physical goods online. If I can't buy it from a bricks and motor retailer then I probably don't need it.
