* ''[[S.P.O.C.KStar Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]]'': Mr. Spock, as part of his [[Ludicrous Precision]].
** [[Lampshade]]d by Captains Sisko and Solok in ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'', after Solok times their previous meeting down to the exact day:
{{quote|'''Sisko''': You mean you don't know it to the minute?
'''Solok''': Of course I do. But humans are often irked by such precision. }}
* ''[[Fringe]]'' had one in "The Plateau". Though strictly speaking, he only saw all the possible outcomes and predicted which one was most likely, but he still had to know when and how long it would take someone to get hit by a bus.
* Inverted with ''[[The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin|]]'': Inverted with title character Reggie Perrin]], who was consistently "11 minutes late/17 minutes late/22 minutes late" to work.
* Superhoodie on ''[[Misfits]]'' knows the time of all the events where he needs to intervene, and has digital clocks in his apartment/lair counting down to the exact second for each instance. He knows this information because {{spoiler|he's from the future}}, but it's still insanely precise.
* The villain in the first episode of ''[[Alphas]]''.
