I can see what you mean for phones, but are analogue clocks supposed to be a thing of the past now? I have like 3 in my home and know many other people, including young people, who still have them.

I have only seen them with a bit of a retro thing with watches or digital emulations of them for easily over a decade and the only reason I saw any in early 2000 is because I worked at a school.

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’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.
