digital watch

Screenface wrist clock

A digital watch displays time using numerals rather than hands on a dial.

The numbers typically appear on an LCD or LED screen: My digital watch said 3:47.

Digital watches often include additional features like stopwatches, alarms, and date displays.

The term distinguishes them from analog watches, which show time through the position of rotating hands.
