As if they teach us how to read those clocks anyways

I lied about knowing how to read these until high school, then I was too embarrassed to ask, so I learned how to read them.

It floors me just how many people in this thread feel like analog clock reading is a useless/outdated skill.

But I'm of the opinion that there's no such thing as a truly outdated and useless skill, so I'm not sure I have the capability to empathize with those people...

As a person who prefers analog clocks I disagree

What benefit does analog bring over digital other than nostalgia?
Once is objectively faster to read granularly, by the minute
