Beats time is no more 'digital' than the 24-hour day. It's 10 base which makes it easier for us to calculate, and without time zones, makes it easier to communicate around the world as we become more global. I think maybe Swatch gave up to early on this? It could have just been another measurement on their watches. Not the main one, but secondary. There's no way this was going to be an overnight change. |

But 'digital' literally means base-10 (as in, like the digits on your hands), so in what sense is it not digital?
