H-A Likeness

The title may seem mysterious...but consider the context of digital displays...on watches.

Most watches display A for A.M. and P for P.M.--but for people using a 24-Hour clock (such as military-personnel and naval-personnel), the watch displays H [as in 1400 Hours for 2 P.M.].

At 3 in the morning, the watch should read: 3A...but I discovered it reading 1500H [it was set 12-hours behind the REAL TIME].

Anyway, adjusting the time is no problem...but on a 24-Hour clock, 3 A.M. reads 300H, and getting the watch on 12-Hour time again is difficult.

OK...I can handle military time, but H looks just like A in the dark.

Anyway, I would suggest simply "-" for a 24-Hour clock, rather than H. The distinction would not only be clear, but easier to read for a 24-Hour clock.

Whatever...just a thought.
