Can you tell the time on an analogue clock?

[wynke@mendeddrum.org]

@MelissaBearTrix I voted yes, but I find digital clocks much more convenient. The digital (24h) representation is pretty much how time is stored in my brain, reading an analog clock requires 'translation' for me to 'get' it, and that after taking longer (a few seconds rather than just a glance) to see what it says. So I'll get by with analog but digital is way more convenient for me.

Interestingly, my husband has it the other way round.

I have to say, I do like the 24 hours time and digital better, it's easy to set other timepieces by

Interesting, I grew up with 12h analog and both 12h and 24h digital types of clocks around so they all work for me.

Why is this even a question?


Oh right, boost for sanity. Don't tell me. I wanna keep the shreds if mine.

@MelissaBearTrix i can, but my young daughter prefers not to: too much hassle for her

@MelissaBearTrix It's easier than on a digital one...

[schratze@todon.nl]

@MelissaBearTrix I can, but I always need a second to make sense of it. It's just not intuitive to me

@schratze

That's the clock's fault ... It might be too busy ... Hugz

Like the hands are similar and nearly the same size

@MelissaBearTrix @stiefkind All my watches are analog.

[melissabeartrix@gives.hugz.online]

@chestas

That it is ... Hugz

Nice watch, love the way the numbers are

@phranck Even that one on your oven? And in your car? And on your mobile phone in the upper left corner? I'm deeply impressed

@stiefkind @MelissaBearTrix All these aren't watches!

@MelissaBearTrix

I honestly try to, but the best guess I've been able to come up with is still 50:50.

@MelissaBearTrix I have discovered that the easiest way for me to tell time is analogue clock with Roman numerals, because it's even clearer what side is lopsided in what way then.

I have dyscalculia, that probably factors in. I /can/ read digital clocks, but it's far harder and takes longer and the chance I misread it goes up by a lot.
