I prefer analog for looks, but digital has more features and I can tell the time faster..

imo watches are tools for telling time. I'm not into accesorizing. Digital wins for its practicality and ease of use. If you want a glorified bracelet, go analog.

For every day use: digital. All those feature -stopwatch, etc.- come in handy. I guess for formal events I'd where a cool analog watch if I had one.

Digital. I could care less on how it looks. Mine will do everything but cook me breakfast.

Analog, mostly...haven't had a digital one in years. However, IGN reviewed a pair of Japanese LED watches a few weeks ago, and I might just have to pick one up :)

analogue looks better but digital ones are easier to read. at a glance you can tell the exact time down to seconds while with an analog you kind of have to look at it closely to get even the exact minute. most of the time it doesn't really matter but it's nice to know... maybe it's just because i'm still adjusting to my first analogue watch ever

Analog.

Although I only wear watches for special occasions. My cell phone doubles as a timepiece for daily use. (And alarm, for that matter.)

analog if its a dressy occasion. my daily watch is a casio pathfinder 2, i use it when i'm climbing (altimeter/barometric pressure/temperature etc).

Both.
My watch is analog with a small digital display at the bottom of the face for the alarm, stopwatch, etc.

The last two watches I've owned are analog with a small window showing the time, date, etc. digitally.

Link please. I'm in the market for a new watch.

I prefer digital cause i'm too lazy to read analog, but analog usually looks classier. Analog+digital rulez all though...
