    Being older (mid fifties) I was taught the analogue clock. My eyes no longer work so well for reading, and an analogue clock face allows you to see the hands and know the time without having to work out where I’ve left my glasses. On my phone’s sleep screen I’m using large high contrast digits so I guess I’m using both styles. Also much easier to visualise time deltas on a clock face.

      Something like 30 years ago analogue clocks seemed to be dominant. Does that mean you lived through childhood and adolescence without reading time?

        Expensive digital watches with glowing led segment displays turned up late 70s, but battery life was shit. I never had one.

        By the 90s cheaper digital with LCD screens were everywhere. Battery life was great.

      But the point wasn’t about vision but the simple intelligence needed to read an analog clock
