Human beings are analog creatures by nature. People do not ask your friend to meet you at 3: 27. We will always tell your friend to meet you at half past three. A picture is worth a thousand words, which means that you can describe something by drawing just one picture as well as you can by writing or saying a lot of words as humans tend to find it much easier to explain pictographic information rather than numbers.
Look at a watch carefully then you will find out that a watch with a face will always looks more beautiful than a watch just engrave with numbers. It is a piece of art that not only beautiful but also practical. That's why luxury watches such as Cartier or Breitling only feature analog display.

With the arrivalof the digital era, digital watches were popular during the period of the 70's and 80's. It meaned that the wearer was acquire detailed knowledge of technological innovation. The first all-digital watch made its debut, using an LED display. The development of LED technology has caused their efficiency and light output to increase exponentially. LED technology consumes a great lot power, therefore, the user had to press a button for the time to be lit up. It soon made great advancement with introduction of advanced LCD display. Thus time can be shown constantly.
Furthermore, digital watches now come with an array with functions such as stop watch, calculator, alarm and many more.

On the other hand, analog watches serve the user very well too. At one glance, you can roughly tell the time. Analog displays can also tell you if something is wrong straightaway. An aircraft contains many instrumentation dials. The aircraft manufacturers therefore have come up with an ingenious idea of building them such that needles are always pointing north or to the top to indicate everything is in working order. The pilot can tell if there is anything wrong just with one glance. The pilot can easily know something is wrong if he sees a needle pointing down or any other fluctuations in the readings. This applies to the motor car as well. Straightaway, the motorist knows something is wrong if he sees the needle in the red zone. A digital display does not convey if anything is wrong. It is simply a number and does not immediately tell the user if things are right or wrong.

So what type of watch is better: analog or digital? Digital watches feature a set of numbers to tell you the time. They tell you the time very precisely up to the second and enable you to have accurate information.

Another advantage of digital watches is that should the watch fail, immediately the reading disappears and you know it's time to change battery or the watch. However, the long and short hands of an analog watch simply stop moving and you may be misled into thinking you have ample time on hand and miss your appointment. There is simply no warning given to you
that your watch has failed.
