And now newcomers might be confused: which of these should they click?

To resolve the confusion, the "Also documented" part should be
replaced by something more specific.  But even then I'm not sure the
confusion will go away completely.  Sometimes it is better to have
only one watch, even if that watch is slightly askew, than having
several ones, each one showing a different time.
