The point wasn’t about which is easier but that many really can’t read an analog clock. And that’s really sad.

Idk in our university lecture halls we had HH:MM.sss digital clocks and it’s obviously superior for exams because you can just compare the numbers instead of translating and then comparing the numbers. And I’m pretty sure that’s why they were digital, because it’s easier to quickly compare.

How did the seconds end up with three digits?

If you were used to analog clocks, you’d read the remaining time just off the clock. As you would just read the time off it – no need for any translation or comparison, just one glimpse and you’d know it. For several decades this superiority of analog clocks was a main argument against the use of digital clocks. Digital clocks are more precise, though.
