IMO because for centuries analogue watches and clocks have been a traditional time indicating instrument, thus being perceptibly more familiar and common to us. Moreover, compared to digital iterations, analogue watches possess elements of aesthetics, the faces, dials, bezels and complications come in an infinite variation giving the wearer extensive choice to express their tastes.....and......wealth
Analogue watches especially the high-ends mechanical ones require higher level of engineering and craftsmanship appreciated by collectors, while digital ones are almost always mass produced.
In term of usability, it's easier to get a close idea of time just by glancing at the analogue face, this might be due to us being more sensitive to visual representation rather than having to read the numeric of digital watches. This advantage hold true in low lighting condition.
As with analog ( Dial) watches versus Digital clocks- there are two different types of presentation. The Analog Oscilloscope is more properly called a Cathode Ray oscilloscope as it uses a specialized CRT ( Cathode Ray tube) the Digital creates and displays its graphics in a digital fashion. They do not need a warm-up time as they do not use vacuum tubes. Storage oscilloscopes, which have a time-lapse feature most intriguing and a memory bank, can be and have been made in both the analog and the digital configurations. the German Hameg company marketed both types.
analog faxes are sent in the same principles of an analogue television, with each scanned line transmitted as a continuous analogue signal. horizontal resolution depended upon the quality of the scanner, transmission line, and the printer. Digital faxes are digital formats, and take advantage of digital compression methods to greatly reduce transmission times. To simplify it� it's like the quality difference in watching regular antenna tv versus digital cable. Digital is clearer.
Digital performance criteria refer to the evaluation of systems or devices that operate using discrete values, typically represented by binary code (0s and 1s). These criteria often focus on aspects such as precision, speed, and reliability in data processing and transmission. In contrast, analog performance criteria pertain to systems that work with continuous signals, emphasizing aspects like signal fidelity, range, and noise levels. The choice between digital and analog performance criteria depends on the specific application requirements and the nature of the signals being processed.

The difference between digital cable TV and regular cable TV is the quality of the video stream that is being presented on the TV screen. A digital cable will provide a better quality picture, usually with a larger framerate and bitrate and as such these will look better on a larger TV.
Analog phone lines. Analog signals. Digital security. Digital PBX. Analog-to-digital adapters. What does it all mean? In the telecom world, understanding analog versus digital isn't as simple as comparing one technology to another. It depends on what product-and in some cases, which product feature-you happen to be talking about. Analog at a glanceAs a technology, analog is the process of taking an audio or video signal (in most cases, the human voice) and translating it into electronic pulses. Digital on the other hand is breaking the signal into a binary format where the audio or video data is represented by a series of "1"s and "0"s. Simple enough when it's the device-analog or digital phone, fax, modem, or likewise-that does all the converting for you. Is one technology better than the other? Analog technology has been around for decades. It's not that complicated a concept and it's fairly inexpensive to use. That's why we can buy a $20 telephone or watch a few TV stations with the use of a well-placed antenna. The trouble is, analog signals have size limitations as to how much data they can carry. So with our $20 phones and inexpensive TVs, we only get so much. Enter digitalThe newer of the two, digital technology breaks your voice (or television) signal into binary code-a series of 1s and 0s-transfers it to the other end where another device (phone, modem or TV) takes all the numbers and reassembles them into the original signal. The beauty of digital is that it knows what it should be when it reaches the end of the transmission. That way, it can correct any errors that may have occurred in the data transfer. What does all that mean to you? Clarity. In most cases, you'll get distortion-free conversations and clearer TV pictures. You'll get more, too. The nature of digital technology allows it to cram lots of those 1s and 0s together into the same space an analog signal uses. Like your button-rich phone at work or your 200-plus digital cable service, that means more features can be crammed into the digital signal. Compare your simple home phone with the one you may have at the office. At home you have mute, redial, and maybe a few speed-dial buttons. Your phone at work is loaded with function keys, call transfer buttons, and even voice mail. Now, before audiophiles start yelling at me through their PC screens, yes, analog can deliver better sound quality than digital…for now. Digital offers better clarity, but analog gives you richer quality. But like any new technology, digital has a few shortcomings. Since devices are constantly translating, coding, and reassembling your voice, you won't get the same rich sound quality as you do with analog. And for now, digital is still relatively expensive. But slowly, digital-like the VCR or the CD-is coming down in cost and coming out in everything from cell phones to satellite dishes. When you're shopping in the telecom world, you often see products touted as "all digital." Or warnings such as "analog lines only." What does it mean? The basic analog and digital technologies vary a bit in definition depending on how they're implemented. Read on. Phone linesAnalog lines, also referred to as POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service), support standard phones, fax machines, and modems. These are the lines typically found in your home or small office. Digital lines are found in large, corporate phone systems. How do you tell if the phone line is analog or digital? Look at the back of the telephone connected to it. If you see "complies with part 68, FCC Rules" and a Ringer Equivalence Number (REN), then the phone and the line are analog. Also, look at the phone's dialpad. Are there multiple function keys? Do you need to dial "9" for an outside line? These are indicators that the phone and the line are digital. A word of caution. Though digital lines carry lower voltages than analog lines, they still pose a threat to your analog equipment. If you're thinking of connecting your phone, modem, or fax machine to your office's digital phone system, DON'T! At the very least, your equipment may not function properly. In the worst case, you could zap your communications tools into oblivion. How? Let's say you connect your home analog phone to your office's digital line. When you lift the receiver, the phone tries to draw an electrical current to operate. Typically this is regulated by the phone company's central office. Since the typical proprietary digital phone system has no facilities to regulate the current being drawn through it, your analog phone can draw too much current-so much that it either fries itself or in rare cases, damages the phone system's line card. What to do? There are digital-to-analog adapters that not only let you use analog equipment in a digital environment, but also safeguard against frying the internal circuitry of your phone, fax, modem, or laptop. Some adapters manufactured by Konexx come designed to work with one specific piece of office equipment: phone, modem, laptop, or teleconferencer. Simply connect the adapter in between your digital line and your analog device. That's it. Or you can try a universal digital-to-analog adapter such as Hello Direct's LineStein®. It works with any analog communications device. Plus, it's battery powered so you're not running extra cords all over your office. Cordless phonesThe very nature of digital technology-breaking a signal into binary code and recreating it on the receiving end-gives you clear, distortion-free cordless calls. Cordless phones with digital technology are also able to encrypt all those 1s and 0s during transmission so your conversation is safe from eavesdroppers. Plus, more power can be applied to digital signals and thus, you'll enjoy longer range on your cordless phone conversations. The advantage to analog cordless products? Well, they're a bit cheaper. And the sound quality is richer. So unless you need digital security, why not save a few bucks and go with an analog phone? After all, in home or small office environments where you may be the only cordless user, you won't have any interference issues. Keep in mind, when talking about digital and analog cordless phones, you're talking about the signals being transferred between the handset and its base. The phones themselves are still analog devices that can only be used on analog lines. Also, the range of your cordless phone-analog or digital-will always depend on the environment. Cellular phonesPerhaps the most effective use of the digital versus analog technology is in the booming cellular market. With new phone activations increasing exponentially, the limits of analog are quickly being realized. Digital cellular lets significantly more people use their phones within a single coverage area. More data can be sent and received simultaneously by each phone user. Plus, transmissions are more resistant to static and signal fading. And with the all-in-one phones out now-phone, pager, voice mail, internet access-digital phones offer more features than their analog predecessors. Analog's sound quality is still superior-as some users with dual-transmission phones will manually switch to analog for better sound when they're not concerned with a crowded coverage area-but digital is quickly becoming the norm in the cellular market. What to buy?The first thing to consider when buying analog or digital equipment is where you'll be using it. If you're buying for a proprietary PBX phone system, you'll need to get the digital phone designed for that particular system. Need to connect a conferencer on your digital system? Opt for a digital-to-analog adapter. Shopping for home office equipment? Most everything you'll consider is analog. Want an all-in-one cellular phone-paging, voice mail, web? A digital cellular phone will deliver it all. In fact, the only head-scratcher may be your cordless phone purchase. Looking for security and distortion-free conversations in your small office? Go with a digital 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz cordless phone. Using a cordless at home? An analog phone will give you the richest sound quality and usually enough range.

Digital thermometers have replaced mercury thermometers because mercury is toxic. [Personal commentary: digital thermometers are not accurate and mercury thermometers are so how many people are being harmed by not knowing their temperature versus how many would be harmed by the mercury if accurate thermometers were still used?]
Depending on what type of watch you're looking for, you will have to take a number of things into consideration when deciding on men's watches. While there are definitely some extra features that can be found in brand name watches that just aren't available in generic watches, whether those extras are worth the money will be totally up to you. Even if you don't think they are, there are a number of great features on generic watches.
