What? They are the same thing.
Not really, analog clocks are readable over a much longer distance, because seeing an angle needs much less information, than parsing glyphs.
Tell that to my glasses. At any sort of distance where this could be an advantage, the clock is just going to be a blur anyway.
Not to mention, how often are you in a situation where you want to know what time it is, but the nearest clock is far enough away that it being analogue becomes an actual advantage?
Not to other people I've talked to.
I'm the wrong person to ask this about, since I prefer digital time, so time is just a number to me. But Technology Connections made a video atleast talking about it,[1] so hopefully that get part of the point across. To him and plenty of other analogue-first people, time is a progress bar, or a chart, or something along those lines, and that's the natural way to perceive time, and converting it to a number is meaningless beyond expressing it as digital time.
