I feel like the only person in the world who uses a regular analog watch face (and uses the always on display setting) so that my watch actually looks like a watch.
(Is it true that Gen Z and younger can’t read analog clocks? Might explain this behavior.)
I like it for notifications. I can see if a text or notification is important without getting my phone out. Also can see who’s calling without getting my phone out.
Wouldn’t surprise me if many young people can’t, I’m on the edge between millenial and gen z and reading an analog clock always needs some active effort. I’ve always preferred digital so I never really had to read analog clocks besides the one that hung in our kitchen and that one time I had a watch. Oh and the train stations still all have analog.
Kitchen clocks, if they aren’t just the oven or microwave, are probably becoming rarer, so when your watch is also digital, you’d never really encounter analog if it’s not somewhere in the public space, which will probably depend on where you live.
I’d guess most kids probably still can read one with effort because at least when there’s a second hand (since you can easily see it move) it’s kinda self explanatory, and it probably got explained in school once.

My watch face is always analog, but that’s mostly because it’s an analog watch.
What’s the added value of a smart watch here?

It saves you getting your phone out.

Here’s mine.
Wait, it’s gonna be Monday all fucking day?! This is bullshit!
I like how you have three complications all set to the date. That’s fucking funny man.
Anyway here’s mine:
Yeah I got sick of the hands covering the date haha. And nice I like it.
This reminds me of a time when I was wearing watches on both wrists, so that I could easily check the time even if one hand was e.g. carrying a bag
I feel like the only person that can’t stand to wear a watch. Until cellphones came out, I just got really good at estimating the time.
