    Telling the time on Mars

    Who says Omega haven't got their finger on practical down to earth time keeping issues? They've just released a watch that can tell the time on Mars apparently. Not sure that its going to be very useful to me....but who did they send to Mars to test it?

    That’s easy. Matt Damon, of course.

    The OP is a little late to the party...

    With a two year battery on a 7 month journey there and 7 months journey back it doesn't allow too much time to experience the Martian world before a battery change will be needed. Omega needs to rethink the whole thing.

    It’s not that bad, once you’re on your way home, the time on Mars is no longer important.
