    As a prepper, I have thought about how we would tell time after the SHTF! ALL of the electric and battery powered clocks and watches will be dead. The surviving smartphones and computers will be too valuable to carry around as time pieces. Mechanical, solar and movement powered watches will be invaluable, as will wind-up clocks!

    If they are not all magnetized.... Then we are back to a vertical stick in the ground.

    If things are at that stage, no need time keeping per se. The sky will tell you how much light you have.

    For many years now it's been just this Maratac large Pilot. No batteries, no frills. Just big and clear.
