 Hi,

What time zones tend to use 24 hours time format? Googling hasn't
been able to answer the question.

Thank you.

Time format preferences, like date and currency format preferences, are
generally national in scope, so you'd have to inquire what *countries*
tend to use 24-hour format. There isn't any reason why the various
peoples who happen to live in one time zone would share a time format.

Thank you both. The initial idea was, if the answer is clear it could
eliminate a question for users (input), but I agree, why not give
users a choice (between 12 and 24)?

Great, much appreciated.

Because it would be pandering to obstinacy and a pointless waste of
resources - unless your site is specifically aimed at the mentally
inadequate. Everyone of even approximately normal intelligence can
understand 24-hour times.
