Temperature is an extremely important parameter in chemical reactions. A rule of thumb is a 10 degree rise in temperature doubles the rate of reaction. So having a thermometer that is digital enables a clear readout without having to strain and put ones head close to the reactor/thermometer to read a non -digital type. Also having a digital readout enables computer control of a reaction or plotting of data etc if required.
