Synthetic time
If you were living on Mars a Mars day is about 24 hours 40 minutes long. A year is 687 days. So it won't be long before things start getting really screwed up and this will effect calculations for planetary transit etc....
Wrist watches will become useless.
Why is a day 24 hours long? An hour 60 minutes or a minute 60 seconds? It makes calculations rather painful. 86,400 seconds in an earth day. 88,775.244 seconds a day for mars.
Time will need to change.
Why not 20 hours in a Mars day? Each Mars hour made up of 100 Mars minutes, each 50 Mars seconds long. 100,000 Mars seconds per day.
