Our new one has the option to not have a clock and just be blank so it’s extra annoying when somebody leaves the timer on and the screen stays on blinking ‘cook time’.
I don’t wear a watch, especially not while I’m busy in the kitchen
My phone is usually on my pocket, and it’s easier to just turn my head than to reach into my pocket, pull out my phone, and turn it on. And also wash my hands if, again, I’m doing kitchen stuff in the kitchen.
The microwave is in the kitchen, which is a different room than the living room.
Even within a few hours of setting it, it’s usually off by at least a few hours. My microwave is usually pretty accurate to within a few minutes, even after days.
it’s not just about the microwave returning to clock function. It’s also about the microwave being returned to it’s normal standby state so that pushing the buttons functions as expected for the next person.
Y’all better be clearing the timer so it returns to clock mode afterwards

I’ve said it before, but they should have a time out option of say like 5 or 10 minutes, when it automatically goes back to standby.
I agree, but they don’t.
I do NOT set the clock on my microwave. Damn ghostly lights keeping me up in the middle of the night.
You sleep in your kitchen?
Do you actually use your microwave to find out what time it is?
Uh, yeah, it’s got a built-in clock.
Mine does too but even though it (and my oven) tell the time I look at my watch, phone, or the dedicated clock in my living room
Huh. That’s fair.
You sound way too reasonable. What’s the catch?
My microwave and oven clocks are never correct because I don’t use them.
That sounds like a “you” problem.
Does your stove not have a clock? They’re fairly standard now
Not while it’s running.
Neither does the microwave, while it’s running.
Mine does.
