If you look into Minelab's History they "MILK" their TECH for awhile but I do hope they have something in the works.
I will defend the clock on the LEGEND and CTX because I am not bringing my phone into the water and I hate wearing watches. So I use the CLOCK on the detectors to make sure the park rangers don't lock the gates on me when hunting parks that close at specific times. Other times I sneak out but need to get home for a work meeting and need to know the time. It isn't because everyone is "HEN PECKED". And other times I just want to know what time it is lol.
I know you will say I can just put a watch in my bag but I don't have to because I have a detector with a clock
