That is a good point, but analog clocks are IMHO in the realm of sundial clocks or audio casettes or floppy discs. Technology that was once usefull, but now it's replaced by better alternatives. Time is after all just a number, and it does not matter how we choose to represent it.
Digital isn't better it's just different. Also a tonne of wristwatches are still analogue.
How many people wear an analog wrist watch to actually keep time anymore? It’s jewelry / a specialized tool at this point (scuba and such).
I wear a watch for the time. I like it more than using my phone.
Yes so do I. And how many of our friends/colleagues wear an analog wrist watch daily to check the time?
My dad and my father in law are probably the only two people i know who regularly wear them.
