Hey all,

I'm currently interning at ZoomCar, India (http://zoomcar.in/). It's like ZipCar, for India.

Something that has been bothering me even since before joining the company is the time picker UI on the homepage.

The most common solution found on the web is using multiple dropdowns for choosing hours, minutes and AM/PM. But, it somehow doesn't feel right to me.

I did a lot of thinking. I did a lot of Googling. Some solutions/discussions I found are: http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/Infusion13/Date+Time+Picker+Competitive+Analysis - an extensive list of different solutions http://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/15839/slider-less-time-selectionhttp://www.kpao.org/2009/10/steal-this-idea-a-better-time-picker-widget.htmlhttp://haineault.com/media/jquery/ui-timepickr/page/ - I'm kinda beginning to like this one.

But, none of these feels like the perfect solution. I think, as interaction designers, we should be doing better than this.

Has anyone else done some research in this topic? Any other better solution?

Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Cheers, Shrihari
