Hello all. I've always been a digital clock user, but I am trying to get myself used to reading an analog watch.

For the most part it's fine, taking me several extra seconds over digital so far.

But one thing I am struggling with is discerning the exact minute. Because the minute hand slowly moves over time as opposed to ticking, I have trouble telling whether or not it's say...9:22 or 9:23 for example.

Because when the time is say...9:22 and 5 seconds, the hand will clearly be on the 9:22 mark. But when it's 9:22 and 45 seconds, it looks like it's actually 9:23 when it isn't yet.

Is this just always a limitation that I'm stuck with using analog? How precise are you all with analog clocks? Is there a way I can more quickly determine the exact minute?

Thanks!

Yeah it syncs to my phone which is also always constantly connected to the internet.

I have a non internet connected cheapo digital clock in my room and it goes off by a minute or so now and then and it bothers me enough to have to change it lol.
