Analog clocks show you the entire sweep of the day in a single quick view - with your approximate current position in that sweep also indicated. So much more human!

It doesn't matter to me. However, I prefer an analog quartz watch powered by solar energy.

I never learned how to read clocks.
ReplyUnambiguous readings
ReplyEasier to read numbers rather than the clock hands. The smaller one can sometimes appear between numbers.
ReplyPure laziness. If I can save a micro-second of work for my frazzled brain, I will!
ReplyIf it is 3:50, for example, and the hour hand is too close to the 4, I may accidentally read it as 4:50. I have accidentally clocked out late or early, at work because of that. Digital is preferrable.
ReplyQuicker to read, especially if you need the exact minute.
ReplyIt really does not matter to me. I prefer the one that has the correct time.
