Out of CURIOSITY: why do you want an analogue clock when a digital clock
spells all information precisely? You don't need to judge the positions
of two hands as in an traditional analog clock!

Just out of curiosity...

Yes, I find digital a lot easier to read. The time is already displayed
in a familiar format, especially compared to an analog clock, which is
complicated. One thing I noticed is (for example) at 1:59 the hour is 1
but the hour hand is MUCH closer to 2.



Sure. The hour hand is much closer to 2 because the time is much
closer to 2. At 1:59, the hour hand has progressed 59/60ths of the way
to 2.

In an analog clock, the hour hand tells the time by itself. The only
reason there's a minute hand is to make it easier to accurately tell
how far the hour hand has progressed between the numbers.
