Disagree - it rarely matters to me if it's 13:24:56 or 13:25:05, but I do find the instant and intuitive gauging of time deltas super useful (as in, how long it's going to be to the full hour / to quarter past / ... ). Not saying you can't get that info from a digital clock as well, of course you can; but the physicality of analog clocks lends a good bit of intuition to this, I feel.

    I get that, but I personally find that I often do care about the exact time, down to the minutes, and that's harder to track with an analogue clock. I don't have particular problems in reading them, I just often prefer digital clocks.

    But I will agree that I feel analogue clocks give a better vibe of the time, since its basically a pie chart of how far you are in the day.
