The same problems still exist with ebeats. How do I know if 900 ebeats is the middle of the night or middle of the day for a specific country? I don't know until I convert it to their local time. The only advantage I can see is that you can display a universal time code with only three digits, saving space on a small watch face.

it took less than a week to 'know' the time in beats. we've use this to coordinate time on our team, spread from Texas to EU to Japan.
