    Every day? I use an analog watch face on my smartwatch, I have an analog clock in my car, I have another couple at home….

      So what? I don’t.

      I don’t have a smart watch and hardly anybody I know actually owns some analog clock?

      Take a look around you. Where are any analog clocks? Church towers, train stations, old people. That’s pretty much it. Your smartwatch is a choice. You could just as well use a digital watch face. There is literally no benefit in that case - except your personal preference.

        You literally asked “Honestly, how often do you read analog clocks?” and I answered. And then you say “So what?” So why did you even ask if you were gonna turn around and belittle answers?

          It’s called rhetorical question.

          I’d argue that you are a very small minority. Most people under 50 probably barely have any analog clocks around.

            Most people under 50 probably barely have any analog clocks around.

            Every home/apt of every under 40 year old person I have ever been in has had at least one analog clock. And most have had several.

            Also, grandfather clocks are a thing. And they’re gorgeous.

            Extremely anti-social to act like digital clocks are better - similar to acting like social media and Facetime calls are in any way superior to irl face-to-face interaction - as our current loneliness epidemic demonstrates
