I really liked the detail that in KSR's Mars trilogy, a Martian day is 24h 39m 36s, so instead of redefining the length of a day, a day is 24 hours, and at midnight the clock stops ticking for 39 minutes and 36 seconds.

@izaya time stopping seems way more insane than just introducing some new Martian time units and converting between earth and Mars time when needed.
