CentWatch is a clock and stopwatch that can display time in cents (hundredths of a minute). This is useful in Time-Speed-Distance (TSD) rally competition. The user may select between white text on black or black text on white, as appropriate for ambient lighting conditions. The user may also adjust the displayed time to be different from the time reported by iOS and match event time. In addition to displaying time in hours:minutes.cents format, time may also be displayed in standard hours:minutes:seconds format. Caveat: CentWatch bases the time value on the iOS system time. This can drift and shift during the day. Future versions of CentWatch will try to work around this.

This clock App is meant for all those users who like to get the time in unusual or challenging ways. This App can display the time in many different ways, like for example as decimal time (which was introduced in the French Revolution), as hexedecimal time (the idea goes back to the 19th century), as "Swatch Internet time" and many others. The most challenging clocks are the trigonometry clock and the PT clock, which requires some mathematical or chemical knowledge to interpret the time correctly. This clock is for "Geeks" ;-) The App shows the time in big letters which are easy to read even from the distance. So you can use an (old) iOS device put it on a shelf so it just shows the time. Feel free to make suggestions for other "geeky" clocks I can add in the future...
