I got a new analog clock for my kitchen since the old one I had for decades finally gave out. I grew up with these things, it wasn’t until I was a bit older that digital came to dominate clockspace. Anyway I have a thing where like I’ll look at the time on my phone, and then forget what time it is five mins later. Unlike if I look at a clock face I end up remembering and keeping track of the time.

    I like analogue clocks because I have a very visual and geometric thought process, and the radial slices of time make a lot of sense to me. In particular, I find it more intuitive to estimate time intervals that cross the hour mark.

    I prefer digital wristwatches, though. They’re more instantly readable in direct sunlight or low light.
