Depends on the component. Overall, I prefer the fine gradations you can get with analogue over the finite stops you have with digital.

Both: Analog clocks because I have a vintage home and digital would look really weird with vintage furnishings. As for a watch, I use the clock on my cell phone instead.

Mine and my husband bed side clocks are digital. The stove one is digital. The rest of the house (two baths, boys rooms, and living room) are analog. Used the analog in the boys' rooms because I prefer them to learn these first as well as what little sound they make might help "rock" them to sleep.

I think both are good in their respective functions. On a wrist watch, I think I like analog. For an alarm clock, a digital with big numbers is best for me. Analog clocks are more elegant in a living area. Digital in the kitchen.

What I like about an old-fashioned clock is that when I look at it I know what time it is, but ALSO the visual of how much more time remains before such and such event, etc. So if buying a clock or watch, the old-fashioned minute/hour/second hands are most useful for my purposes and what I prefer. But a digital is nice by the telephone. Digitals are great for precision, for message-taking, recording what time you spoke to someone etc.

In the Navy I used the second hand of my TImex to take pulses. I prefer analog still, but have a waterproof digital for kayaking (only went once before it got too hot, though).

The watch I wear every day is digital, and it has the seconds ticking by in the corner. That's why I love it, since I can count seconds when I need to.

Digital. Everything's digital. Except the bird clock in the kitchen, which hasn't made bird sounds in many years.
Many things update themselves, such as the clock-radio, cell phone, cordless phone...though the cordless phone has a mind of its own and often sets itself back or ahead an hour at will.

What kind of clocks and watches do you like? Do you use the "old" kind with the hour, minutes and seconds hands? Or do you use Digital clocks and watches?
I prefer the old kind of clocks and watches, the kinds that have the numbers and hands on them. As a nurse I always buy one with a seconds hand so I can take a pulse. Even on the wall, I much prefer that type of watch rather than a digital one.
Which do you prefer? Analog or Digital watches and clocks?
P.S. the emoticons are analog clocks. There were no digital clock emoticons.
