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.)
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?
Well I'm a statistics nerd, so I like all the sensors on the watch for sleep and health tracking. I can see exactly how long I slept in each phase, track my snoring, stress levels, muscle mass, body fat, and body water; compare calories burned to calories consumed, make sure my heart is being correctly with the ECG, check my pulse and blood pressure. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
It's basically like having a PipBoy IRL (it even has the light!). And to me that's really fucking cool. Only feature missing is VATS.
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.
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.
I feel you but for me the body tracking features make it worth it. If you're a Fallout fan, it's like having a real-life PipBoy. The only thing missing is VATS.
