analog watch
An analog watch is a type of timepiece that uses hands (hour, minute, and sometimes second hand) on a dial to display time, in contrast to a digital watch which displays time using digits. The dial is typically marked with numbers or indicators for each hour, with shorter marks to denote minutes and sometimes seconds. Analog watches may also include additional features like date display or chronograph. It operates through a mechanical or quartz mechanism.
Wikidata
Analog watch
Analog watch is an example of a retronym. It was coined to distinguish analogue watches, which had simply been called "watches", from newer digital watches; see watch and clock. The name refers to the design of the display, regardless of the timekeeping technology used within the watch. A digital watch is one in which the time is displayed as a series of digits, e.g. "13:37". An analog watch is one in which the display is not digital, but is indicated by the continuous motion of two or three rotating pointers or hands pointing to numbers arrayed on a circular dial.
