I prefer Analog, because I learned how to tell the time that way :)

You do have a point, besides, Analog saves energy :)

True :p although analog is mechanical, which makes it less precise than digital timekeeping methods. Digital timekeeping technology has massive advantages like radio-transmitted time updates, so you dont have to turn the hours forward and backward yourself. and seeing as it updates all digital clocks at the same time, it keeps the time-zone more precisely synchronised.

For watches, Analog. For alarm clocks, digital. For larger clocks, Analog. That's just for me though :)

This is interesting!

Have you guys ever seen these BINARY watches/clocks?

They're strange, and I'm not sure if they should come under their own heading, but my dad has one and he's fascinated by it. :o

analog, It's easier for me to tell instinctively how long I have before I'm late, o how long it'll take me to get from one place to another. Digital gives a more exact time, but it has less of a qualitative value for me.

Ugh I'd hate to have to do math to find out what time it is. :lol: I'm so lazy.
That's why I like digital, it's easy for lazy people to tell what time it is. XD

Edit: Haha but I want to pick I tell time by the sun just because it cracked me up for some reason. XD
