When I look at a digital clock I always convert it to analogue in my head. Guess I’m that old.

It's true. I teach college kids, and a couple of years ago my class was taking a midterm. The room didn't have a clock so I put my watch on the document camera display so they'd know how much time was left. A girl in the front row asked me what time it was, because she couldn't tell time. After she turned in her test, thinking she must be kind of embarrassed about this, I told her I'd be happy to teach her how to tell time. She gave me a look like "ok, boomer" and said no thanks.

Who need analog clocks?? Want the time use digital! Digital is to little use Millitary time? Millitary time is to small? Use UNIX TIME

The only thing i really use thats a dial/analog is calipers and micrometers.

Its like veirneer calipers, there just time consuming and inefficient to modern offerings

It floors me just how many people in this thread feel like analog clock reading is a useless/outdated skill.

But I'm of the opinion that there's no such thing as a truly outdated and useless skill, so I'm not sure I have the capability to empathize with those people...
