    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.

        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.

        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
