Analog clocks are just annoying, I support this change. Also let's change format to 24hr format

24h analog clocks exist but they are pretty useless because you lose angular resolution. So unless you are a vampire that's up 24/7 a 12 hour wall clock has better angular resolution than a clock with 33% wasted area you'll never use/see because you are asleep

It's about how far the hand moves in a given time. On a normal 12h circle analog clock the hand moves 30° per hour. On a 24h analog clock that's halfed to 15° per hour.

I'm all in on 24hr clocks. I'm a veteran and currently work in healthcare. Use that 24hr times 40+ hours/week.

But, I also like regular clocks. Especially BIG building clocks or old time 4 side post clocks you can still find on some corners of cities & towns around the globe.

Digitals are way easier to read.

Reading analogue and digital clocks are kinda a different skill and use different parts of the brain. That's not to say either is better, it's just different.

You can teach three year olds to read analog clocks (see my other post) but I've yet so see three year olds reading and understanding digital clocks. I get the feeling in this thread that everybody that has issues with analog clocks is from the US and that might come from the fact that the US (at least it seems based on this thread) has almost no exposure to analog clocks.
