Abstract: Balanced, quadribalanced, enhanced quadribalanced or unidirectional segmented digital time display systems are modified by inclusion of enhanced prompts which readily distinguish such real time displays and which comprise the letters AL, dA, and each of M, D and Y in pairs, to symbolize that the displays are in modes for setting or resetting an alarm time or calendar values such as the current day name and the current month, day or year dates.

Abstract: Quadribalanced digital time displays and methods comprising increasing digital minutes displayed on the right flank of centrally positioned digital present hours, in relatively upper and lower positions during the first and second quarter hours, followed by decreasing digital minutes displayed on the left flank of digital next hours, in relatively lower and upper positions during the third and fourth quarter hours, are enhanced by simultaneously displaying markers (26, 28) in one or more of the three quarter hour minute positions not containing digital minutes at any one time to inform the viewer that such marked positions are functional elements of the display but not activated due to the current time being displayed in another of said minute positions at that time. A single displaceable crown control is also provided for facilitating the operation of a timepiece emboding such enhanced quadribalanced time displays and methods.

Abstract: A unified digital time display is presented in an expanded display field (Fig. 1) and configured for compatibility with prior balanced, quadribalanced, enhanced quadribalanced or unidirectional segmented displays by positioning hour display elements generally in the center of the field, minute display elements in a space beside the right flank of the hour elements, seconds display elements below the hour elements, with markers in a space beside the left flank of the hour elements which are visually different and distinguishable from markers included in the prior displays (Fig. 2). These time elements are preferably activated to display solely elapsed time in a timepiece which also includes, preferably, balanced quadribalanced, enhanced quadribalanced and unidirectional segmented time displays, and enables alternately switching between the three types of displays, with each preceded by a respective ER (Fig. 3), ES (Fig. 4) and EU (Fig. 5) prompt to identify the type of time display that is provided in a preferred order of presentation represented by such prompts.

Abstract: Digital time displays which include a display of remaining minutes (C), on the left side, and before commencement of a displayed next hour, a system for tracking the diminution of the final remaining minute which comprises a plurality of zero digits (18H, M, L, 20H, M, L) positioned on the left side of the displayed next hour (A) in a predetermined pattern.

Abstract: Setting or resetting of digital dates in digital time displays is facilitated by providing an array of display elements (a-i) which can be selectively activated to display the capital letters or characters which are indicative of months, days and years in a selected language, together with simultaneously displayed digital values of months, days and years, respectively. This enables setting or resetting a digital time display to the corresponding correct current month, day and year, without confusion, uncertainty or ambiguity, even if identical, repeated date values are displayed during the setting or resetting process.
