clocks/watches digital/analog?

[rabidbadger]

what's your pref? I like analog clocks and watches, but sometimes It's nice to just take a quick glance at the watch and see the time, instead of interpreting the hands for a second. But analog for both are so much more aesthetically pleasing to me. I have yet to see a handsome digital watch.

Digital both.

I just like the whole tech geek look.

Digital for outdoor activities. Analog for daily wearing. For me an analog watch has to have numbers on the face. At least 12, 6, & 9. Makes it easier to read quickly.

Casio G-shock comes close to making handsome digital watch, but not quite there.

My pocket watch is analog, but my main clocks are both digital only because they happen to be my pc and cable box. I prefer analog because I can read it faster.

Analog. It's timeless. Will always be classy. I get 2 or 3 compliments a night (when i'm out) on my watch. I'm telling you guys, the watch goes far. It's a verrrrry important wardrobe addition. Ladies love a nice watch.

Butttt I think that a digital clock in your house is sa weet. I have one up in my office and it looks sooooo tiggggght. Get one with a hardwood shell.

Have to agree about watches being an important wardrobe addition. Watches can be a piece of jewelery and the really classy ones get noticed.

For me it's a practical matter as much as it is style points. I'm in a wheelchair and my wrist expands and contracts as I push which makes wearing a wrist watch a bit annoying. Form following function I guess. lol

you guys hear about that expensive watch that only shows night and day...? let me google... ok, got it... (http://www.romainjerome.com/en/les-inatendus/day-and-night-en.aspx)

Hadn't heard of the night/day watch, but it seems like it isn't really a timepiece. More jewelry than watch.

I like the gears on the face, but I'm not so crazy about the 'rock' or whatever it is around the border. Of course, like acidburn said, it's just jewelery, completely impractical.

Mine is currently on it's 3rd chain because I have a tendency to get them caught in things and break them.

[comhcinc]

i don't wear a chain most of the time. it's gets in the way.

[rabidbadger]

I wish I had style, *sob*



or is that *fob* ?

[techliveadmin]

This is a new age, go full digital, however those pocket watches are awesome. Remind me of the victorian era in UK, would love to go back to that time!

I don't know that it is, but with out the reference points of a few numbers I have the hardest time reading watches like that. Really nice watch though. :)

You know, I keep track of time with my cellphone. It's just an affectation.

I'd love a steampunk pocket watch, but all pocket watches are steampunk ;)
