I got a new analog clock for my kitchen since the old one I had for decades finally gave out. I grew up with these things, it wasn’t until I was a bit older that digital came to dominate clockspace. Anyway I have a thing where like I’ll look at the time on my phone, and then forget what time it is five mins later. Unlike if I look at a clock face I end up remembering and keeping track of the time.
I like the idea of analog clocks but the ticking noise they make drives me up the wall so it’s all digital for me
FYI silent analogue mechanisms exist.
totally get that, for some reason i really enjoy the ticking now when there used to be times i didn’t like it. i think i also just like something to be in constant movement in my space or else i get a little antsy.
This one I got has no tick so that’s a plus.
It can be annoying but it’s also comforting in a way. It gives you a sense that things are normal, time is still passing same as always, and you’re not frozen in time.
Unless you’re having a hard time sleeping, then it really doesn’t help.
