    My son has down syndrome, he did better with analog because you can see the motion and time left in an hour, whereas digital was abstract and he didn’t really grasp 47 was getting close to 60 etc.

      😃i have this problem with digital as well (just neurodivergent):
      22:55 -> oh nice not too late, I can still do stuff
      23:05 -> o damn, o dear, no time left, gotta finish up, gotta get to bed soon, damn

      💁🏻

      On the other hand, if I only use analog, I lose more time checking the watch until I know the time (including double check) than I win by knowing the time at all 😂

      Best is to have analogue and digital side-by-side, or digital within analogue.

      Like, I need the movement of the minutes, but fast info about current hour.

      On the other hand, trouble reading analogue clocks can be one of the signs of dyslexia.
