Do you prefer digital or analog clocks? (hexbear.net)

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.

you need both imo. analog is great for when the power goes out, but suck if you have a bunch when the time changes twice a year, or the batteries begin dying and it becomes less and less accurate with no real warning. digital is usually pretty easy to set and is always accurate until the power goes out.

That is true in regards to the power going out. I do have both, I got my clock and my digital clock on my oven.
