It may just be me, but it seems like digital clocks have been replacing analog clocks long before smartphones.

That being said, I’ve enjoyed wearing my analog watch the last few years to tell time instead of having to pull out my phone all the time. Imagine if we used our Steam decks and Switches the same way…

Almost all wall clocks sold here are analogue ones. And they are in almost every home and public place. (Looking at the clock section in the hardware store and the municipality Office/train station combination)

Most digital clocks are alarms. As soon as it becomes a computer and not primary a time device it becomes more digital.

Have been but haven’t and likely never will given analog clocks are beautiful.

Reading clocks is simple. Creating a class and educational divide around it is silly. Doing so unintentionally is insane.

(And I assume there are more analog clocks lurking in the shadows.)

How so? Like, using them as clocks? If a Switch fit in my pocket and showed me the time when I pulled it out without even having to press the power button or interact with it, I guess I can't see why I wouldn't do that?
