Not many people can tell the exact time by looking at the sun. Sure, you probably can gauge a general idea of when it might be noon, as the sun is directly above you and you can gather when sun might be setting by, well, looking at it setting. But overall, you’re not going to know the minute or hour most days. While you can certainly just look at your phone, sometimes if you’re sitting outside by the pool or lounging in a lounge chair, you don’t want to worry about your phone sitting out in the sun all day. This is why an outdoor clock makes so much sense. This will show you what time it is, so you can better know when you need to turn over for a more even tan. Of course, there’s plenty of other reasons to want a clock and with any of the five we’ve handpicked below, you’ll be able to find those reasons. Here are our picks for the best outdoor clocks.
