Think about when the last time you used a wall clock or even a public clock pole/tower or something. My brain doesn’t even register them anymore, I just look at my phone and reset brain to whatever magic hand box says.
To think there used to be a time where you had to physically go outside and look at a clock tower if you wanted accurate ish local time

I use clocks all the time - it’s way faster to look at a clock than pull my phone out.
Its even faster to simply look at a wall clock than the clock on my phone when I’m using the phone, since the fint is so small and digital.
Analog clocks are just faster to read, for me - I don’t have to think about “what do these numbers mean”.
Analog clocks are just a better analog for the passing of time.
Cant argue with this.
But
Is what i faintly ask myself when i do look at a analog clock.
In digital, the numbers are just numbers, 9:42 is 9:42 while in analog 9 can mean 9 or 45.
“It is almost a quarter before 10” is a sentence i would need to think twice to understand even when well pronounced from a vocal clear distance.
Pretty sure it all depends on what your used to and dealing with a delay when facing the “other” formulation. No real winners.
