One serious problem I see with digital watches is the the loss of meaning
to the words (anti-)clockwise.  How do you gain experience without
tightening a lot of screws???????????  Also, analog clocks are significantly
better when all your interested is the approximate time (e.g., is it almost
time to go home????).  Of course, I wear a digital watch, but mainly for
the additional features, like a built-in stop watch for when I go jogging.
