The timestamp from my camera is important for keeping an order to my images, especially shooting a wedding with multiple shooters. The timestamp is important to those using GPS tools to sync up the data. Other than the clock, it would be real annoying to lose all settings and custom menus you have in the camera if you changed the main battery, and the clock battery was dead. That I don't know for sure, but not sure what would power the memory if this "clock" battery was dead.

But that's just my own personal preference.
