Watches are pretty much out of vogue as most people check their cell
phones fro time. It looks like you'll have to buy her a new cellphone
for kitchen work.
Electric consumption of any clock, sans lighting, is nearly
negligible. Certainly compared to a ranges power use!

Now.....you be SURE to disconnect the fridge lights, oven light, and
rip out the range hood while you're at it.
Never knew about power strips...anyone care to dispute that?

The little "power on" indicator light if there is one is all...if you
have so many power strips their load is measurable you have too many
things or too few wall outlets.

I think he's talking about electronics plugged into the strips, not the
strips themselves
