Would a clock drain the battery?

[Falco]

As part of the grand plan, I'd like to add a clock to the dash. Ideally I would like to wire it in, but in order for it not to loose time it would have to be on a permanent live. Would a clock draw enough to flatten the battery, even if the bike was being used every day during the week, or is a clock so low power that it would take months to drain the battery?

What clock?
Why not buy a waterproof watch with a 10 year battery life and stick / velcro it to the bike?

Before bikes had clocks I used to buy a cheap digital thing and blue-tac it somewhere in the fairing.

I have a digital display like that for volts on my boat.

If your battery/system is OK, it will be less drain than an alarm.

They are annoyingly bright at night. If it's in your line of sight it's going to be really distracting.

The watch is a much better idea.

Can't imagine it will draw much and like you mentioned the bike gets regular use.

The cheap digital watch sounds a good idea, only thing that'd bother me is someone nicking it just cause it's there. I don't take thieving very well unless it's a heroic amount of thievery and done with panache.

I've always been a fan of this type - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Shsyue-Universal-Motorcycle-Accessory-Waterproof/dp/B06ZYHNHGL/ref=sr_1_21?ie=UTF8&qid=1498231391&sr=8-21&keywords=bike+clock

But it is just a watch without a strap, but with a handlebar clamp.
