I started using the hourly chime on my wrist watch and found it helps ground me. The trouble is the chime can be disruptive at night, and it’s tedious to turn it on and off every day. I’m hoping to find a clock (not a wrist watch)-- of decent build quality-- with an adjustable chime (volume and active window). I don’t care if the clock mechanisms are mechanical or not, so long as the chime is pleasant.

I’m struggling to get satisfying web-search results, but I thought others with ADHD may already have a similar solution. Anyone have a clock with a chime you’d recommend?

    That would legit be super helpful for me. My biggest complaint about the windows clock and outlook calendar is you can only add 2 extra time zones, and I have coworkers across all US times zones, plus UTC and IST and probably more I can’t think of. Still have to convert timezones multiple times a day…

      I think I have more contact with people outside of my timezone than within, so I relate. I often think I wouldn’t mind everyone switching to UTC. Even if that means I do things consistently at “odd” times, like go to bed at 10:00, wake up at 18:00 and eat dinner at 06:00.

      At least we’d all be referencing the same clock. When I travel, I’d just change what time i woke up, not the clock itself, which would give a sense of changing global position. And if we still wanted DST we’d just agree to do everything an hour later and perhaps realize it’s ridiculous and stop doing that.
