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.

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

I disagree, I am under 50 and wear an analog wristwatch every day, but if I want to know the time I just look on my phone.

So since you don’t use something no one should learn it? Crap take.
