Re: APNEA! terrible name
In Response To: Re: APNEA! terrible name ()

: Tucker,
: Thanks for your quick response! I had no idea
: with timezone.com because I'm Japanese...

: MMC,
: As posted in the timezone thread, APNEA means
: the free diving without breath, and even
: Jacques, 7 minutes are enough!

Thanks for the explanation.
With this broader meaning of the word "apnea", I suppose it is an appropriate name for the watch. I still think most people immediatly think of it as a DISEASE and most of the timezone responses look pretty harsh!
Why not combine some useful functions such as a GMT with moonphase? As an amateur astronomer, I would actually use that.
