Just to be an insufferable pedant, I would like to point out that a base-60 system would only have one digit from 0 to 59. So technically fewer digits than with our current system to express the same range of values, and as we all know, technically correct is the best kind of correct.
Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, the overall number of extant digits would increase six-fold. I was trying to express the idea that the number of digits in an operation would decrease.
Base 60 is my favorite.
Too many digits
It’s way too long for a week, yeah.

But you need 60 different symbols. That’s what I was referring to

Just use Arabic numerals, but modified 5 additional times. Like 1-9, then 1-9 with a dot on top, then 2 dots on top, and so on.
That’s probably the most pragmatic approach.
I also like this one system founded on primes:

Digits too much. Already have 10 and it took me long enough to memorize those ones.
