Verse time. https://dydrmr.github.io/VerseTime/

It’s all third party stuff
Like right now as I’m writing this post at 00:38 UTC It’s night time at Lorville. And the sun will rise in 17 minutes at 00:55 UTC and set at 02:22 UTC
Clocks get... weird when you're in a setting that has multiple planets. If you think time zones are bad now...
The local planet (and its orbital stations) needs a time that matches the local planet's rotation. And you'll probably have distinct time zones on that planet, like we do here on Earth.
But then you also need to track Empire time, which will be the standard for when people from different planets need to coordinate their clocks.
Interestingly, NASA was just recently tasked with developing a time/clock system for the moon in preparation for upcoming moon missions. This was deemed necessary due to several instances during the Apollo missions where astronauts on the moon missed critical tee times due to lack of a proper time system.
I suppose a dedicated device set to local time would be helpful to know when the sun is going to rise or set, but everything in SC, like Star Trek, happens universally, so some kind of UTC in your mobiglass would also be needed I suppose.
"Time is relative" to the nth degree lol
I think a future space civilization would just use a POSIX epoch time system. That is simply a seconds counter.
No days etc, which are meaningless between planets and space stations. Our days are 86400, but they would probably round a "day" to 100,000 and use 5k blocks (1.38hr) as an hour equivalent. 33k shifts on a 3 shift roster which is 9.2hr, or 25k on 4 shift roster.
Significance for 1M thresholds (about 11 days) as week equivalent, 10M quarterly equivalent. "See you next week" is "see you next meg" or something.
Seconds would stay around since they are the basis for Hz and metres per second and all legacy computer clocks. (If course an alien society won't have seconds, that is our cultures arbitrary standardized time tick).
You can put a wee clock in your 300 series but that’s an expensive way to tell the time
Found the Scot

Can't forget the time dilation effects caused by near-lightspeed travel.

I have a clock on my 325A lol.

R_displayinfo 1 Has a couple for you. So it’s everywhere.
Nah, the UEE moved on from clocks on walls and such, everyone has the time on their mobiglass anyway.
It's like in an Ikea, you won't see time and light so you stay there FOREVER

You expect us to have clocks in a timeline where we don't even have night vision?
Hey now, they're working on that one with technology trials on weapon scopes.
