The fact that the hour hand of a watch rotates twice as fast as the earth should tell flat earthers a thing or two about the claim that we should be flying off the surface...

You have to remember the watch is also spinning at the speed of the Earth, so the hands are moving actually faster because it is moving in addition to the movement of the watch itself >

Bit at a certain point on earth it cancels out partly so is the hands are moving slower >

Yes, at the tip of the northern and southern axis but even then at the point where time does not apply since it encompasses all time zones the watch is still moving faster than the point since you are not rotating if you are standing on the exact axis. Everything would be moving underneath you, but the watch would still be moving faster than being at a standstill. Why? We're traveling around the sun, the sun around the galaxy, the Galaxy around the solar system, the solar system around the entirety of the cosmos.
