Sweep second hands are better than digital. In fact, digital watches are
inferior in most respects.


Why? Timing an approach with digital, I start the timer and wait for 3:18 to
show up. Timing it analog I have to count and remember the number of times the
second hand went around, or remember which little tic mark the minute hand was
on. Digital is drop dead simpler.


You can use a dial watch to determine direction
and estimate distances.


how?
