Re: Almost no one
"This is the reason why an analogue watch display out-performs a digital (pure-numeric) display - you can glance at it (have it in the corner of the eye) and the muscle memory translates the image into a good-enough time!"
Agreed. Two different parts of the brain to get the time from analogue and digital, especially when estimating time remaining or time since. Spatial awareness bit of the brain can deal with analogue pointers while the brain needs to register the numbers on a digital display and do a numeric calculation to sort out time to or since an event. It's similar with car speedos. Pointers are almost instinctive while digital numbers force you to calculate speed differences.
