I agree about the Seiko 5, there is a wide range in style and price, the one I posted is around $100.

+1 on a dark face may look classy but at night or in a dark room/bar/restaurant they are difficult to read.

+2 on the Eco drive, I could convert my whole collection over to eco drive... but not my Seiko divers, you will have to pry those out of my cold dead hands

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.
I have noticed most of the smart watches are set to an analog face.

I do wear a Casio G-Shock at work, I don't wear one otherwise dunno if I would say they are dead.
