You know why the digital watch ultimately failed and analog dials still rule the day?
Analogs are user friendly.
They require no thought.
You can look at a dial and the two hands and have an instant visual reference for how much time until............or how much time has passed since.....
Digital requires mental math.
Phone, yeah always have one with me but there is still nothing more convenient or simple than casually glancing at your wrist and instantly knowing.
YMMV.
