I’m currently using a wristwatch with an analog clockface and a smaller digital screen underneath. Looking at it, it takes me less time to tell the analog time, with an approximate error of up to 2 minutes, but the digital screen isn’t well visible. A well visible digital time is mych faster, though.
Some approximate times would be 0.7-1 seconds for the analog and something around 0.3 for digital. Although, it does take me slightly longer to work out, e.g., how much time I have left when looking at a digital clock.
So, digital is easier to percieve, but more difficult to analyse.

That’s an interesting point—I hadn’t thought about that. Analog time “chunks” easily into groups of 5 and 15 minutes, for example.
