In The Matrix Revolutions (2003), The Trainman is shown wearing nine wristwatches, each set to different times.
Why does The Trainman wear so many watches?
-
No help in the script; 514 INT. SUBWAY STATION ONE - PASSENGER TUNNELS - NIGHT: *He [The Trainman] *bounds up the stairwell, and zig-zags through the mostly-deserted tunnels that lead up to interconnecting stations. Checking a wrist full of watches, he veers off towards another staircase. Almost flying he hurls himself down the stairs to the train platform below.– ValorumCommented Nov 4, 2023 at 8:09

The wiki article on the Trainman claims (without any visible justification, as far as I can tell) that "He also wears multiple watches on his arm to track the movements of each train"– ValorumCommented Nov 4, 2023 at 8:13

That's how people worked with different time zone when there wasn't smartphones yet.– ClockworkCommented Nov 4, 2023 at 11:23

1Maybe he needs to check the time more than once...– ValorumCommented Nov 4, 2023 at 11:44

Ramakandran (at Mobil Ave.) is wearing a watch that says ten past six. None of The Trainman's visible watches have that time.– ValorumCommented Nov 4, 2023 at 20:49
