I have a few reasons for liking to know what time it is.
This may be a long post... let's hope not.
I work in radio, and I've learned a few things from it. Like for instance, when commercial breaks come and go on stations. If I'm listening to a talk show of some kind (usually "The Phil Hendrie Show," don't know if anyone else listens to that or not), I know the exact minute commercial breaks come, and the exact minute they end. All talk radio shows start at exactly 6 minutes past the hour, for example. First commercial break begins at 18 minutes past the hour, ends at 21 minutes past the hour, etc...
The clock is useful for this because I can then slam one of the FM presets to listen to instead of commercials, and know when to flip the station back so I don't miss any of the show.
Also, I tend to take a lot of very long trips, and I always like to know how long I've been on the road and such, especially since I do a lot of trips pretty late into the night (I like to know how many hours it's been since I last slept. heh heh heh...)
Perhaps my biggest reason for liking the clock is the fact that I have a horrible sense of time. 5 minutes, an hour, it all feels the same to me. I tend to look at my watch quite a bit, and when I'm in the car, I can look at the car's clock instead of my watch.
So, I suppose my reasons for liking the clock are more personal then anything, but there you have it.
