I don't get it. What is the drawback of digitals at 1:21?

@thephilchannel I'm just guessing but it seems to insinuate that people comprehend time better in a spatial/abstract sense (that analogue displays represent) rather than fuddle with hard math that a digital display requires. Personally I've never had that issue, but dial displays will always be more attractive and elegant.

It's sad really. That our world has this brilliant precision of rhythm, and nobody really notices it? I remember the tough time I had wearing a watch... and the last time I reliably wore one, I kept it for only a half a year. I had 3 watches, each in turn would succumb to a breakage... the last one I wore was lost while I was at gym! Ironic, a film about time keeping reminded me of lost life moments?
