I used to have a Casio that had an analog face and a small digital window in which you could select Military Time. My reports at work had to be in 24 hour mode and it made things really easy.
I've been looking for another one of those for years.

I've got a $30 Timex which i've had for ages. However for my birthday I wish to get a nice silver analog (or analog/digital combo).

Same here, and it does a lot more since it has a calander and all that crap as well. Wearing a watch is pointless if you have a cell.

I've got 10 watches and never wear any of them. If anything, I wear my Citizen or one of the Ken Coles.

Here they are. The one on the very left is about 70 years old. The Mickey Watch is from a childhood trip to Disney World. The Donkey Kong watch was a Kellogs Main-In offer. Its been running on the same battery since I got it in 1994. It must be nuclear powered or something...

Cant take a pulse or cout resps without a second hand. Analog all the way (even though I broke the band last week and still havn't fixed it).

I need it for work... too hard to add 15 to numbers while counting under stress. Ill take my analog thank you. But I see where your comming from. At night ill use my cell cause my watch doesn't glow that well.

Those skagen crystals are softer than butter. Nice looking though. I had one about a year ago that scratched a week after I got it. My Fossil which I've had for 2 years now has no scratches, and I am even rougher on it than the skagen.

I've been wearing an analog for a few months now. I bought a Fossil, and I love it. It looks a lot better on me than my digital one. (I had one of those Timex Datalink watches, the one you could hold up to your computer monitor to download information to.)

when i go to school or out, i wear an analog watch.

Summer, when i'm out all day, doing sports, hiking and what not, strap on the durable digital.

My current phone has a lcd on top with the time so I stopped wearing a watch. When I did though I wore nothing but digitals.
