The merest glance at a traditional watch dial informs me perfectly. I particularly don't want to get use to anything other than the watch/clock dial that that has been familiar to me since before grade school when my parents taught me how to tell time. I don't want 24-hour dials. I don't want digital watches/clocks.

Digital time is hard to avoid in today's world, but whenever I have a choice, I will choose a traditional dial.

I learned to tell time long before digital clocks were invented. I still remember the thrill in first grade when I discovered that to express "A quarter to three" in writing it was written as "2:45." That totally floored me. I thought it would be "15:3."

Even to this day, if I see a digital time like "7:35" I have to translate it in my mind to its analog equivalent before I know what time it is.

I don't particularly like the style of the slo but I do like the uno 24.

Watches to me now days aren't really about telling time but cool looking jewelry.

My phone can do far more than most watches.
