The way I have my seat and steering wheel setup, the steering wheel completely blocks the clock. Ok, so I have to move my head a few inches, big deal? It’s just slightly annoying to glance down and have to search for the time. All the other info is right at hand and I have a hud for the same reason.
Does this bother anyone else? It’s petty but I notice it as I’m driving.

It bothers me more I have 3 clocks: Dash, PCM and Sport Chrono ?

One of the reasons I use the multi-panel display in my main PCM screen - has clock, date. temp, range etc at a glance as indeed the clock on the dash display is always invisible!

I also purposefully ordered the compass instead of the clock with Sport Chrono for the other comment re too many clocks :)

Couldn't spec compass as it's a sedan. Not a station wagon.

I see you have two clocks in the PCM now + dashboard = 3 again. Porsche really insisted on 3 I guess ?

So again, the dash clock clearly NOT visible in the pic or Driver’s view, and the very far right small clock readout in PCM for the passenger imo - you younger guys can scan all the way over there - I’ll stick to the obvious one beside me in full view with other metrics I can all read in one glance - so for me this 2+1 = 1 usable not 3 ;)

Yup, for me I can’t see the temperature outside either. Winds me up

Plenty of other clocks to look at.

Optimum position for the steering wheel is between the gaps of the outer edge displays and the 3 main tubes - forms a natural curve which typically doesn't obscure the view of any display.
