I really don't get the time picker design that basically works as two long comboboxes side by side. Especially the minute picker requires far too much scrolling/swiping for what it's worth.
I much prefer the Android dialog, with a clock face that allows me to select the right time with two clicks [1]. Am I alone in this, and is it hated by all and thus ignored in other OSes? Is it patented and thus unavailable for anyone but Google? I don't get it.

- tolqen 7y agoI'm fairly sure even Android has abandoned this type of time picker
- aaronax 7y agoIt doesn't have two rings anymore, you choose the hours and then it changes the ring to minutes for you to choose that. Functionally the same I would say, for all but the most pedantic person. And I believe it has been that way for several years...I don't recall ever seeing hours and minutes rings visible at the same time.
- throwaway744678 7y agoWell, no, that is still the current time picker. I find it the fastest and easiest way if picking a time on a touchscreen. Not sure if it would work as well with a mouse, though. And it takes a lot of space.
