I know my teen can read analog but he admitted something that I realized was true for myself as well; it takes an extra moment to “read” the clock and then translate that into whatever schedule I’m thinking about. Much worse on clocks that don’t have numbers and just hour markings. Almost impossible on clocks that don’t have hour markings.
Analog is beautiful, but less practical IMO. https://news.slashdot.org/story/26/01/02/1919255/nyc-phone-ban-reveals-some-students-cant-read-clocks
