If you're clever enough to decide if it's 2:00 or 14:00 you're clever enough to add 12 to the hour.

Barometers are as rubbish as a TV weather forecast. We don't know how to predict the weather, and probably never will. Your best chance is to look out the window in the morning.
The altimeter is fun on a fell race (race up a mountain). You can tell people they only have 2000 feet to go.
The timers are designed to be used by someone monitoring the speed of several runners in a race. I'd just get mixed up.

A campsite in Poland would be good but the Poles wised up after the last time the country was used as a dumping ground.

AWS. (Amazon Web Services). I doubt they would let you anywhere near a VM.

Or 20' if the barometric pressure changed since you calibrated the altimeter.

I get a chuckle from the Australian Alps. They look like they would be a nice, if not too taxing, walk. Beats Kansas, I suppose.

Even you should be able to use a well designed smartphone app that uses image recognition to work out which one is which.

I remember the weather device a relative had, a piece of brown rope hanging outside, with instructions like:
If it's wet it's raining. If it's stiff it's freezing. If it's white it's snowing.

One advantage of a dial is that YOU control it. Rather than the "2 speed" up/down buttons where you can get close to what you want and then it suddenly decides you want high speed. Like trying to get to 20 and you end up with something like 17, 18, 19, 29, 39, ....
