analog watch

Dial with hands

An analog watch displays time through moving hands on a dial face rather than digital numerals.

The hour and minute hands sweep around the dial, sometimes joined by a second hand.

Despite the rise of digital and smartwatches, analog watches remain popular for their traditional aesthetic: He preferred the classic look of an analog watch.
