Unix time is base 10 and I’d say it is pretty widely used. Not for wristwatches but by all kinds of software on the device you’re using to read this right now.
Unix time is just the number of seconds since January 1 1970, isn’t it? How is that base 10, or any other base? If anything, you might argue it’s base 2, since computers generally store integers in binary, but the definition is base-independent afaik.

Yeah, it’s definitely base independent. It’s just that representations of it are typically in base 10 because we typically use base 10.
Base 10 is not how it is “widely used” though. It is widely used in encoded form. It’s not typically shown as a number when displayed for humans.
