but i'll just use a digital.

there's no need for analog clocks or watches anymore, it's like using an abacus instead of a calculator.

An abacus is not considered a piece of attractive number counting jewelry therefore your comparison is flawed

I wonder how many younger folks wear analog watches these days. The only 20 somethings I know both wear analog watches. I never paid attention whilst walking about but I will now.

I suspect most younger folks don't wear watches at all because their phones never leave their hands.

Whether it's a $40 gigantic faced monstrosity or a $4000 Rolex monstrosity, it's just jewelry. I saw a kid not long ago wearing a watch in a bar and asked him the time. He pulled out his phone. I chuckled and asked what time his watch said. He said 'I don't know. I don't think it works."

Jewelry.

I missed the glorious Stone Age days when clock does not exist and people can sleep and get up whenever they wish.

I remember in the pre industrial era, Europeans and Americans usually sleep for four hours then wake up in 12:00am mid night. Stayed active for two hours or so and go back for another 4 hours sleep. It must’ve been glorious.

they had to go to sleep immediately because they were physically exhausted and worn out from yet another day of backbreaking labor and needed time to recover to be ready for even the most basic civilities. Yup, glorious.

I'm pretty sure most Americans could use some backbreaking labor. A few reps of 300# off-the-sofas would be a good start.

I'm in my early thirties and wear an analog watch daily, although this is a relatively new development over the past few years. Admittedly, at this point the watch is an accessory more than a tool, although I do glance at it to check the time.
