    It floors me just how many people in this thread feel like analog clock reading is a useless/outdated skill.

    But I’m of the opinion that there’s no such thing as a truly outdated and useless skill, so I’m not sure I have the capability to empathize with those people…

      As a person who prefers analog clocks I disagree

      What benefit does analog bring over digital other than nostalgia?
      Once is objectively faster to read granularly, by the minute

        For the usability of the clock, likely nothing.

        I did mention In another comment that there are a number of advantages a round clockface provides to the creation of the clock, however.
