Digital clocks were a thing long before the internet.

With the amount of idiots online, I have no idea if this is sarcasm or a genuine request.

I've never seen an idiot online. Source?

The first digital pocket watch was the invention of Austrian engineer Josef Pallweber who created his "jump-hour" mechanism in 1883.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.

Digital in sense of how they displayed time, sure, but not digital in how they update it. Not connected.

Not online. Offline clocks, I should've said.

Who would think digital clocks are newer than the Internet wth

Oh, sure they are. The one I'm using has been around for 50 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DCF77

Half the clocks sold here do support it, and even many "analog" (as in the clock face) ones.

The time-keeping in Central Europe is a bit different than ours here in the Nordics I see.

Either I'm so high that I've forgotten, or I learned something new from reading that. Thanks. TIL.

Doctors and scientists argue that standard time is better for our health. Our internal clock is better aligned with getting light in the morning, which, in turn, sets us up for better sleep cycles.

Obviously.
