One of my pet peeves is digital clocks. I asked a student to look at my watch (which I had taken off and put on the bench) and tell me what time it was. They could not tell me because it was an "old fashioned dial type, with hands".

For our off-seasons, we ought to rig a big clock with a dial to indicate match duration......it would make the point that the visual analog gives more data than a digital read-out!
And maybe a non-digital scale might help too!
