Which ones do you like best? Which do you use? The oldfashioned kind with hands or the digital ones with figures that light up? I have oldfashioned clocks in the house and I have a digital wrist watch and an analog watch with hands.

I have the old fashioned one with pendulam, and many old fashioned ones with hands. Some table watches are digital which show digital numbers. I feel digital ones are easy to see as it is like spoon feeded.

Maybe mini clocks in my bed,and waches around my hand. They have different styles,and they are used in different places. To a lazy guy ,such as me,I must need a clock to remind to get up and go to class,or else I will be late. But in other situation, I prefer to use watches or the digital watches in the cellphone.

I have one analog clock in the house and the rest are digital. But, for watches, I love the old analog face. I especially like large faced watches.

Analog. Much easier to look at them than digital.

I prefer clocks with hands, but I use a digital alarm clock. My watches have all had hands, I just prefer the look and I can tell time just as quickly. This topic reminds me of a joke my roommate loves to tell: Q:What did the digital clock say to it's mother? A:Look Mom, no hands!

i guess i just really like the alarm clock in my room...thats what keeps me with the time..espeically as im in there a bit.. it also wakes me up in the morning because i sleep...quite a bit, and im a heavy sleeper..or so my mum tells me, and i would fall back to sleep without the clock...that also wakes up my whole family and the neighbours that surround my house :P i dont mind any sort of watch, i mean..they all do the same thing..which they were suppose to do in the first place..which is tell the time. it's just that some clocks are better than others, and are more advanced. i use to have a wrist watch because when i was in school i was always looing for clocks and sometimes had to ask people what the time was... but since i broke that doing parkour...after i fell, i havn't used it since, and i fell alright without it, because i got use to the fact that i didn't have a watch and i was able to cope without one... i usually dont need it now...and if i do, i use my phone....:)

Personally, I would love to have a real honest to goodness grandfather clock that chimes every hour and half hour with the pendulum and all. I have always loved those clocks. I used to wear a watch all the time but haven't in a really long time. I don't know why. I tend to like clocks with faces and hands over digital and I don't really care for the ones that make bird noises or animal noises every hour. !!HAPPY ST.

Beautiful old clocks are just the best. I love a good clock. However, I were a watch with hands, and I use the same in my home against the wall. I just do not do the digital thing. When I was a teenager that was the in thing but now a days I prefer the hands. My gran who is 88 years old uses a digital watch cause she says she cannot see the time on a normal hand watch. Her eyes are not that good anymore. But I like watches. I like to wear different ones at different times.
