I think digital is more logical choice.
If I buy a watch just because to see the time I can buy one for 20$. I don’t even need one, there is a clock on the phone, on my computer, in the car… everywhere.
If I buy a 300$ watch I’m not buying it (just) to see the time.
I’m buying it because it’s much more informative and I want to see all the informations I’m interested in.
In my case I like to see steps, temperature, chance of rain and heartbeat.
Every one of us will choose something different but that’s the whole point of having a smartwatch, isn’t it?
