I’m surprised at that, from my experience I think it’s still more normal than not to have analogue clocks at home, and I would always prefer an analogue watch.

Really? Where are you located? I walk past three clocks on the way from my office to the metro station alone.

chicago. I mean there are some old buildings where they exist but not on my commute. I would be bowled over if any el stations had them.

I like that expression, I’m going to steal that.
These train displays haven’t changed in probably 30 years here. Vienna also has a bunch ofthese public clocks on big intersections and squares.

I wonder if it’s an America vs Europe thing? I’m in the UK and analogue clocks are still very common here as well. So maybe it’s just America that don’t use them much anymore.
