I played around with a lot of digital and verbal clock faces when I got my smart watch, but keep coming back to an analog face because it really helps me visualize how time is passing, or how much time I have before I have to do something. I'm not great at math, so maybe it's easier for me to process the change in angle of the minute hand instead of adding or subtracting from a number.

Now that you mention it, there aren't many analog clocks in my house anymore. My grandfather clock needs a spring replaced so it stands still until I can get around to doing that (again), and I don't bother winding my cuckoo clock most days. The rest are mostly watches I don't wear unless my smart watch is charging or too delicate for whatever I'm doing.
