How to tell if watch settings are set to use "military time"

I suspect this is not possible, but going to ask anyway.

I know that System.getDeviceSettings().is24Hour will return 'true' if the watch is set to display 24-hour time, and 'false' if it is set to display 12-hour time. It also seems to return 'false' if the watch is set to display military time.

So my question is can a CIQ app/datafield/watchface determine if the user has set their watch to display military time? The simulator doesn't have an option for military time, either (only 12hr / 24hr).

It's pretty bad if every watch face has to duplicate a system setting in order to allow users to specify 12hr/24hr/military time. I guess maybe that's why there's a 12hr/24hr setting included in the sample watchface app.

Has anyone figure out a way to determine if the device settings in the watch have been to set to display military time?

12/24 Hr is available, but not military time, so if you want that as an option, you need to add an app setting. With a watch face, chances are you already have other app settings.

There's no way to see that from a CIQ app without an app specific setting.

Thanks - I suspected that was the case.

Hello.
What exactly is "military time" ?
I thought it is a synonym for 24h time?

The way I see it is is 24 hr time, there may or may not be a leading zero for hours, but in "military time" there always is:

so 1:00 in 24hr would be displayed as 01:00 in military.

Military time is also not supposed to have the colon. So 1:00 am would be displayed as 0100. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24-hour_clock#Military_time
