Translated to Swatch® .Beats time, right now it's 2025-07-01 at precisely:
Unlike your local time, its 2025-07-01@969.28 all over the world right now. There are no confusing time zones ordaylight savings time shifts to worry about.
There are exactly 1,000 .Beats in a day, making each .Beat precisely 1 minute and 26.4 seconds long.
If you'd like to know how many .Beats are in a year, just multiply 365 days by 1,000 beats/day to get 365,000 .Beats. Good luck figuring out how many seconds are in a year in your head.
