How do you find north by using your wrist watch?
Set your watch to accurate local time (no daylight saving), hold it flat, point the 12 on the dial to the Sun, and at Noon it will always point to North (but in the Northern hemisphere it will point to South).
At other times, some teach that North can always be found by pointing the hour hand to the sun, and that North is then half-way between the hour hand and the 12, but this is not recommended at all by Harold Gatty, one of the world's great navigators, in his book "Nature is Your Guide" as this variation is not accurate: use this variation at your own risk.

How do you read military time?
If the military time says something like 0100 hours, it means it is exactly 1am. This is because 01 is 1 in the morning, and 00 is the minutes past it. For pm times, such as 1400 hours, the first two numbers are on a 24-hour clock. 14 means 2pm, and 00 means there are no minutes past. If it says 1632 hours, the 16 means 4pm, and the 32 means 32 minutes past. Its quite easy when you understand. Hope I helped!
