Which do you prefer?
I can use either, but I much prefer analogue. I look at the position of the hands and instinctively know the time without using numbers and without much effort. It is optical pattern recognition.
Digital requires mental processing and of a different kind. I bet a brain scan would show different parts are active.
It is the same for other gauges and instruments.
I think a lot of my processing is visual, I convert things into images. It might be why some abstract things like poetry don't work.
It might also be why going somewhere new without a picture of what it looks like is a problem. You need to imagine it which you can't if you have nothing to go on, or a similar example.
It explains some of my holiday experiences and why I always visualised it.
