Maybe its because I have grown up in a completely digital world, but its a pain in the butt for me to tell time by looking at hour and minute hands. Even if there is an analog clock in front of my face, I'm going to pull out my cell phone and look at its time display if I need to know what time it is. Just my thoughts, that not maybe some people are like me and automatically interpret numbers/letters faster than associating analog gauges and dials with the same information.
