Digital, because it's what I've had for years and years now. I think I can still tell time manually if I were to look at clock hands in the classroom, so I'm no stupider for it. Plus it comes with the cheesy alarm consisting of beeps, an hourly beep, date number indicator, day of the week indicator, stopwatch, and an utterly useless alternate timezone feature. Roots Athletic I believe.

Man, this makes me cry. ;_;

It only takes a second or two to look at an analog and tell what time it is. Synchronization MIGHT be a bit harder, but you'll never really be off if you set it right.

My hatred of digital numbers probably comes from when I was little, and relied on the unique shapes of 5 and 2 to tell them apart. Digitized, they both looked the same to me.

With watches, I definitely prefer digital. Like Eleo said, the deciphering time is quicker. I also have a BCD watch: I'll take the analog one over that. I do wear an analog one to more formal occasions though.

However, I haven't worn a watch regularly for the last year or so. Now I just refer to the time using my cell phone, my PMP, a computer, clock on wall.. whatever. Easier on the wrists.

Mine's a Seiko limited edition. ANALOG. Generally, the chain and face are all black metal, with green scripts and white numbers. World time and all.

Recently I'm too lazy to wear any watches.

Sorry, but do those of you who complain that analog watches are too hard to read are able to eat your own breakfast, or do you get spoon fed? 'Deciphering time' what. Geez.

I'm only partial to digital because I'm a data whore and like any data I can see. Plus I got a free digital watch years ago that's still ticking and works great. Analog is more for style when I wear one, digital is for functon and directness.
Plus I do belive digital gets better battery life due to less (if any) moving parts.

It depends. If I feel like wearing a watch more for convenience than appearance, I'd probably go with digital, since they're so much easier to read. A lot of them also have that button that turns on a backlight, which is pretty spiffy. When I'm wearing a watch but not really planning on looking at the time a lot, I'd go with analog. They're much more pleasing to the eye.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I have always had analog watches. I honestly don't know why. I like them, but I'm kind of slow at being able to read the time quickly/acurately for people who ask me what time it is, especially impatient ones. If I'm by myself, I can read it just fine and fast, though.. how odd. But when I think about it, I only use the watch for school, and there are only so many positions the watch hands can reach before I'm late for class. I never actually read the time, it's just "oh, that hand isn't on the 3 yet, I've got time," rather than "not 1:15 yet, still got time." I'm just slow with numbers in general, utterly horrible at math.

Digital Watches are on the large part, ugly... so I have a cheap analog watch that looks vaugely expensive (bling bling homies) and of course tells the time.

I have like this thing where I feel a LOT better (Less stressed, calmer) if I know what time it is... so I almost always have a watch on.

Analog for me because I like the whole mechanisme in it. Digital just doesnt do it for me. I had some bad experience with those, for some strange reason they just stop working (not because the battery was empty). I'm not so picky when it comes to looks, if it looks nice I'll take it =D

My Rado I love it when I'm making my homework and the only thing I hear is the ticking sound it makes ^^

I actually despise people who don't wear a watch... because they're always asking people what damn time it is. :P

I wear an analog watch - only because digital watches are so damn ugly.

I actually own a digital watch, too, but it's a sports watch and I only wear it when I swim or do something that might mess up my pretty analog watch.

Digital for me. Just some <$10 generic watch from Wal-Mart. I only have a watch for the sake of knowing the time (and maybe to use the stopwatch or alarm occasionally).

If I was going for looks, then yeah, I'd probably have an analog if I was that self-conscious.

Well considering I use my mobile I lose. >_>

But nonetheless, I prefer digital to analogue. A glance at digital tells me if I'm gonna get roasted by a teacher for coming 1 minute late to their lesson.

Analog. Simply because I find it more pleasing to look at, easier to tell the time (matter of personal preference really) and more comfortable than a digital watch. I don't know why, but I always find Digital watches more ugly than Analog ones.

Normal every day wear = analog Puma watch.
Gym = digital watch, only because it has a lap timer and I time my rests between sets.

I chose combination~ It doesn't really matter what type I buy, I just need it to tell me the time of day O_o. I just wish getting batteries for them were as easy as getting AA, AAA, etc batteries.

I always wear analog watches. Well, I used to wear digital ones before I could tell the time, but ever since then, analog all the way. Right now, I'm still wearing the watch I got for my 18th, I haven't found anything better yet!
