Hello all. I’ve always been a digital clock user, but I am trying to get myself used to reading an analog watch.
For the most part it’s fine, taking me several extra seconds over digital so far.
But one thing I am struggling with is discerning the exact minute. Because the minute hand slowly moves over time as opposed to ticking, I have trouble telling whether or not it’s say…9:22 or 9:23 for example.
Because when the time is say…9:22 and 5 seconds, the hand will clearly be on the 9:22 mark. But when it’s 9:22 and 45 seconds, it looks like it’s actually 9:23 when it isn’t yet.
Is this just always a limitation that I’m stuck with using analog? How precise are you all with analog clocks? Is there a way I can more quickly determine the exact minute?
Thanks!
You might look into getting a slow watch.
It doesn’t really matter exactly what minute it is mostly.
One reason why I always preferred analog clocks is because they’re faster to parse. Thank you for teaching me about something even faster.
Hey I like that a lot. Thank you - maybe I’ll become a watch guy after all.
That’s a super interesting concept! Neat idea, but I don’t think I’d be able to handle that for when I’m getting ready for work in the morning and the minutes count lol.
