POLL: Leading zero or blank with digital time

I absolutely prefer leading zero! No longer a built in option with WFF so I’m coding around it to still have the zero. Some designs don’t look right without it.

I’m doing the same thing even with the date leading zero.

Loaded a face on my new Pebble Time 2 with nice big numbers. Didn’t put in leading zeroes. Wrote my own. ( Which required me to reduce the size of the font until memory errors stopping causing the compiler to fail. )

If some prefer the leading zero because it just looks more natural in a digital presentation, i.e HH:MM format. what about the vertical version?

HH
MM

Does this format, more likely to be a leading zero or allow for a more flexible interpretation for a non-leading zero format? This vertical format in many apple watch design omit the leading zero. But Samsung uses the dimmed leading zero strategy.

Historically the digital clock has been horizontal and not stacked, only with advancement of digital watches do we see more stacked version without a leading zero or artistic reasons.

If it’s digital it’s leading zero. 9 times out of 10 it’s simple aesthetics.
