Calculations of times are complex, as systems of 60 (minutes, seconds), 12 and 24 (hours), and 100 (milliseconds) are mixed.

Dates are full of exceptions, like leap years or months of different length.
Calculations with days are difficult because other units of times based on the number of days like week (7 days) or month (28 to 31 days) do not fit to each other.
