Here's a gotcha for grey bearded virgins: Bring an analogue watch to Christmas and see how many of your grand kids can tell you the time. --- End quote --- They still teach this in schools here. Might want to argue with the education system in your country. Realistically analogue clocks are totally obsolete now. I bet that’ll be controversial :-DD |

@BD139: Analog obsolete? Smart watches feature hands just like in the olden days of Timex and fake Rolex. It's just the chapter/number ring that's gone missing. And the time is... two lines at an angle not quite pointing up. Or is that sideways. Hey Siri, what time is it?! |

Those mechanical timepieces are certainly obsolete, but they're cool, because that which is impractical is cool. We will continue to see raster displays apeing analogue timepieces for the foreseeable future, although the new possibilities compared to the LCDs of decades past will erode this somewhat. |
