Digital Or Analog?

Do you prefer how everything now is digitized or do you prefer analog dials, counters and controls? One claims greater accuracy and the other - greater control.

Analog Digital

Since I grew up in the Age of Analog, I prefer clocks with hands that move around the dial/face. Digital timers are great, I have no problem with that, but I prefer an analog clock.

Old fashioned? Yep.

Digital Or Analog? Reviews Consumer & Travel Family Culture

I tend to like the digital stuff. Like with a radio dial, it's great to be able to select exactly the station you want, instead of messing with a dial.

Also with digital volume controls it eliminates that old gag where someone gets into your car while your gone, and cranks the volume up to ear splitting levels.

Plus in the middle of the night I have a hard enough time figuring out what the numbers on a digital clock mean, I would never be able to figure out what time it was on an analog clock.

Analog Digital

I prefer analog when it comes to my alarm clock, wall clocks and wrist watches. But in the kitchen I prefer digital clocks, and timers.

I also prefer analog dials on the radio.

Analog Digital

I am a digitial freak! For the longest time I only had digital watches, and finally got a regular watch, and frankly, it took me a while to tell the time when someone asked! I was so used to just glancing and having the screen tell it to me. I love digital readouts on electronic gadgets; I am just a geek like that!

Digital Or Analog?

I think analogs are better looking, something with the digits that cover up half the watch is not really aesthetic. Digital, on the other hand, are much more precise. You can also see what is the exact second while on the anaolog watch, you have to estimate.

Digital Analog

I am not a nuclear engineer, a competitive athlete, or a person who has to punch a time clock. Thirty seconds one way or the other will not end the world for me. I just bought a wonderful windup (analog, of course) alarm clock, which has been much more consistent than my disappointing digital alarms that failed because of power outages, power surges, low batteries, or no apparent reason. I wear an analog watch when I wear one at all, and I use a windup pocket watch for special occasions. I trust analog devices. They meet my needs. They fit my look.

Digital is great if we are looking for the time on a VCR or in a car but if I am going to get to choose the clocks and watches I will definitely prefer to have them analog. I find an analog readout to be much more elegant. I feel that technology has led us to dependencies on things such as digital readouts. My little sister could not even read an analog clock until the second grade because she had always had a digital clock around to look at.
