17:35 (5:35 PM): time to ride home. 30 km to cycle (≈19 mi) at -8°C – -13°C (17.6°F – 8.6°F). Difficult to let the watch peek out under the thermal clothing.

You need a long nylon strap that can go outside the sleeve!

I didn't look up which temperatures it can take, yet. Never thought about wearing a watch over the clothing in winter. But I see that your wear a G-Shock on top 🤔.

With the length of your ride, I don't think the cold will be too much of a problem. All I know is it's a Citizen, which model is it? Quartz, EcoDrive or automatic? And I went G-Shock specifically for the cold, but it was out there on my sleeve at night in Alaska in early February with temps of around -30 F (-34 C) for over an hour at a time, so needed something I could trust to survive that!

It is a Citizen AW1231-07A Eco-Drive.

I think an EcoDrive would be able to handle that cold. But I'm just guessing, can't hurt to double check!

You don’t have to translate the units. We can manage—especially 24 hour time. I wish winter were better where I am. Hopefully I’ll fix that with a move in a few years

Not on on WatchCrunch yet but elsewhere I ran into:

"Why do you use military time? This is a peaceful environment!" , "Can't you tell distances/temperature in a common way?"... So I started to go both ways to ease communication.
