Guess I'll be this guy when it comes to analog clocks. I was sadly one of the slow kids in class when it came to learning to read time. It took me years to be able to read the hands "on sight." I'm perfectly fine at it now but there is still a slight hesitation in mentally decoding the picture of a clock to time. Especially if it's one of those clocks with no numbers. On the other hand I've never felt like I had to "read and process" a digital clock.
I love analog watches and I understand mechanically why it has to be this way, but I still sometimes catch myself reading the wrong hour in the last 5 or so minutes because the hour hand is literally pointing at the next hour at that point.
I must not be alone, because "jump hour" watches exist; where they always point directly at the correct hour until the minute hand hits 60 and then they jump to the next hour marker.
lol I guess there is more to it. I've heard that analog clocks are easier to read more than a few times and that has been the case for me, personally. I don't know what to think now.
