Congrats, this is so handy (pun intended)! :-)
Please consider adding a custom watch face to the Coros watches such as the Vertix.
Also consider that there are timezones offset by 30 mins.

#62Really cool idea.
The Statue of Liberty glyph for NYC is extremely difficult to make out (on mobile, at any rate). I would much prefer NYC. Also not sure why NYC has to be special, I would have thought UTC would the special one.

Yeah me too struggled a lot to make out that it was the Statue of Liberty

#64If anyone wants to wear a 24-hour dial on their wrist: * https://romeoswatches.com/the-5-best-24-hours-watches-buying... * https://svalbard.watch/pages/Svalbard_24-hour_watches.html * https://vintagewatchinc.com/24-hour-watch/ * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24-hour_analog_dial#Watches
Wowzers I love these one-hand 'slow' watches! https://svalbard.watch/pages/Svalbard_24-hour_watches.html I hope I can get Pole Clock on Apple Watch, wish they allowed custom watch faces!
There are two options - the Solar and World Time faces are 24h

#67So intuitive and simple, it's hard to imagine this representation of time zones hasn't been conceived of before. But perhaps that's the definition of "genius"...

#68Excellent. You can see at a glance which of the cities are in right now in day light and where's night.
Not precisely though since in different places, the sun goes up/under at different times. An interesting thing could be if the small hands had a color that indicates the night/day/dusk/dawn
If you want a single-view visualisation of sunrise/sunset across the globe, there's always this design: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/sunearth.html

#69Shouldn't there be two minute hands if you add LA and India (PST and IST)? The minutes are offset by 30 mins in this scenario.
Also, Newfoundland and Labrador (GMT -3:30)

#70Two ideas to consider adding to this cool concept: 1. Could there be an option to place 00:00 at the top instead of the bottom? It looks like both positions have been used for analog 24 hour clocks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24-hour_analog_dial 2. Could there be an option to set the background to be a polar-projected world map ( e.g. United Nations emblem) that rotates to align with the turning of the hour hands?…

I wear a 24 hour analogue dial wrist watch, with 24 on top. I'll admit, I sometimes wish I had chosen 12 on top, since it's more naturally to look at the watch during the day, and less so during the night. Since it more naturally follows - on quick visual inspection - what it would look like on a normal 12 hour analogue dial.
