I thought like that too until I actually got a digital watch :-)

The ones we bought have three tiny round dials above the time-number.
Absolutely useless unless you're a -5 myope, and even then 2/3 of the
info is useless.

I once saw a digital watch that would switch to look like analog if
that's what you want. Can't remember the brand.

You need only three tools: WD-40, duct tape and a hammer. If it doesn't
move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use duct tape.
If you can't fix it with a hammer you've got an electrical problem.

I'm on my second Citizen "Eco Drive" solar watch. The first one lasted
about 15 years before the battery wouldn't take a charge any more, and I
decided not to invest more $$ in it. The local shops wouldn't touch it,
so I would have had to send it back to the factory repair center.
 
Instead I spent about $100 more than a new battery for a new Eco Drive
with an analog face. It was the only titanium model that I liked. A
steel cased version would have been much cheaper, but I like the [lack
of] weight of the titanium.
