The time, according to the Zoe voice on my Apple Watch, is "17 minutes and 11 seconds and 42 seconds". I wish these voices would stop trying to do so much interpretation. Just say "17 colon 11 colon 42". It's okay. Also, stop with the plane numbers. Ever notice how, even with number pronunciation set to words, specific numbers like "747" are spoken as digits? If I hear "Boeing 747" as "Boeing seven hundred forty seven", I'll understand it. And this is to say nothing of the date problems...
