Handlebar clock?

[ebikemom]

Hi all,
My only little peeve about my bike is that I wish the display had a CLOCK on it. I looked online at bike handlebar clocks, but all seem to have some problem ...
I was wondering if any of you had a weather-proof handlebar clock that you love? If so, do tell!

BTW, I cannot change out the display on my bike for another with a clock, but must stick to the one supplied by the manufacturer.

I can describe two routes:

• Use double-sided sticky tape and closed-cell foam to make a thick ring (probably one inch thick would work fine) around your handlebar that is about an inch or so wide. Buy a cheap wristwatch and wrap the band around the foam, tightly enough that it will bite. Instant handlebar clock.
• Some handlebar bags and top tube bags have a clear pocket that you can put a phone in on the top. Get one of those and put your phone in it. Just tap it (the phone) and you can see the time.

Auto supplies & welding supplies sometimes have an adhesive backed digital clock for $1. you can clamp a metal flag to the handlebar and stick the clock to that. I make such things out of spam tin lids and stainless steel machine screws #6 or #10. Since digital clocks are made to stick to a welding helmet, they are not real sensitive to the rain, but I'd put a bag over one in a real downpour. As I do my throttle/display unit.

$10 Casio wristwatch on Ebay, Amazon (I think that saw them in Walmart too). Water "resistant" (read - rain proof). Black on white analog dial - not digital. Easier to read than digital in most light conditions, short of complete darkness.

Waterproof would mean IP7 rating (and higher), this means protection from immersion up to 3ft. Nice to have in theory, but those are really for watersports. For biking IP5 rating will suffice, IP6 would be plenty.

I have the same problem with my Pedego Interceptor. I use a hand held GPS to display & record a variety of statistics while I ride. Most of these units can be set to display time, temperature, altitude and many others. You can also track your rides and download them to a computer.

I'm not sure of your budget but there are many relatively inexpensive GPS receivers on the market. Ebay is a good source for low priced used units such as this one:

You can get a handlebar mount and even power the unit from the USB port on your Pedego display.
