Abstract
In accordance with the invention, a digital timepiece is provided with a mode of operation which presents a time message indicative of the approximate time. The mode can be implemented by adding to a digital timekeeping circuit, a digital conversion circuit to generate the messages. A visual display on the timepiece face displays the message. In a preferred embodiment the precise time can be displayed as an alternative mode.
