Personally, I don’t know if you can remember or remember when digital watches first came out, when I was the new kid on the block, I know I can. What a whirlwind they threw the world into and as the newest model of computer or entertainment system only the rich and famous with the extra finances could afford this new groundbreaking advancement of technology, at the time they were about a huge piece . Unfortunately, like all new technology, digital watches soon became obsolete and with that they became quite affordable and commonplace. In my country they are as low as “ECD” $10, sometimes that is around US$3.70.
By the time they first came around, they basically tried to make a wonderful digital watch case, yes, a digital watch, it had voice recognition, you could dial phone numbers, you could even play games on it if you wanted, and more. or less they were trying to make the James Bonds watch for the market. However, today these types of digital watches are in short supply, but that does not take away their uses.
Great with children.
Tell me, you are back at school, a piece of paper with a circle drawn on it that has twelve numbers, a dot in the center and two arrows, one arrow points to one number while the other points to another number, so she asks, What time is it. Now you’re there wondering
yourself when the long is here and the short is there what is 3:00, 2:45 what is. Well the digital clock saved all that stress for the kids, they no longer wondered what the long hand and the short hand meant because time was right there looking at it. If it was twelve, I would say 12:00, a quarter past three, 3:15, no stress. Then from there, sooner or later, I would go on to understand an analog clock.
And also what makes the digital clock so fun and cool for kids is that if they wanted it would come in different colors or pictures from their favorite cartoon, and it was so much brighter and more colorful than a boring old analog clock for adults. Also, along with that, they were/are very cheap, so if you have one of those kids who can’t put things away for very long, this is/was perfect for parents of all kinds.
Fashionable and wearable.
Not to say analog watches aren’t stylish, but when it comes to digital watches, they can’t be beat. For children, the Mickey Mouse watch, a lilo and Stitch, etc. they are for that, for teenagers and adults, if just a simple leather strap or a stainless steel strap. It all depends on you and what you want, because there is a digital watch for everyone, regardless of age, race or gender, you can find one. And like any other watch, it comes with the time precision we all need down to the millisecond if need be.
athletes
Digital watches fir athletes are probably looking for their sport and their team, their next best friends nowadays. Whether you’re on the track and need a countdown timer or stopwatch to keep times on your fastest 100 meters or how many push-ups, sit-ups, or kicks, I’m a martial artist, you do it in minutes, and a digital watch is there for you. They even make watches with a memory bank to store data. Also, since some of them come with a heart rate monitor which of course for a serious athlete you can’t do without, making them that much more valuable to an athlete.
To top it off, because most watches are waterproof when your blood starts pumping and your body sweats, they know their watches will live to see another day, plus since most straps are made of rubber, that means they would have a comfortable fit.
But I must mention the fact that what really made or makes the watch so great is, as mentioned before, the sheer number of features that it packed into such a small package and that’s not even a fact that I could tell the time in milliseconds. It can no longer play games or dial a phone or it’s equipped with voice recognition, or at least not what I’ve seen, but if a calculator or a little light at night or a compass, a stopwatch, a countdown timer, a digital the clock has your back.
