When digital watches first came out, a guy I worked with made a point of buying analog. I asked him why it mattered. He said that when he looked at his watch he really didn't want to know what time it was. He wanted to know what time it was near; i.e., was it 5PM, yet or after 5.

Does anybody really know what time it is?

Pilots now have glass cockpits. The entire information package is now available as digital readouts.
Oddly enough, all the vital data is still displayed in analog symbols.
You don't suppose...

I use analog watches. And have my phone set to an analog dial. I think because the time is shown in reference to all of the other times. If dinner is at 6 pm, I can just look and see how close I am to that “destination” time.

When digital watches first came out,... ...you had to press a button to illuminate the LEDs.
Needing two hands to do what previously only required one....now THAT'S what I call "progress."
