What's the point of owning a geochron? (lemmy.radio)

So I've seen these things mentioned around various ham related communities, and my immediate thought was why is this its own thing instead of an app/website/software? They go for nearly $500 at HRO. At that price it'd better cure cancer.

Yes I did recently learn geochrons used to be mechanical time displays and have been around for a long time, but in a vacuum I don't understand their utility when stuff like ham clock exists.

TIL $500 can cure cancer.
