I have no real problems reading analog clocks where precision isn't a concern, but those usually have a ~20 years head start of getting accustomed and I'm also usually not concerned about running someone over either.

I also agree with most men of culture that analog clock faces absolutely look better than digital.

But with that said, if I had to choose strictly on the basis of practicality: I would choose digital clock faces. They're quicker and easier to read, and they're always more precise.

I had a bit more of a think. I overstated my position. I slightly prefer a number display when setting cruise control. It does take me conscious effort to set the cruise control at precisely the level I want without it.
