Years ago the Family Dollar had a wall clock with the Praying Hands on it so that's what's hanging on my wall. Even though it's a clock on my oven and microwave. I also have one in a guest bedroom, a mantle clock in my family room, and a Grandfather clock in my living room. It's not hanging on the wall but it's against a wall, LOL. I love clocks.

I enjoy having regular clocks. At least after a power outtage I don't have to re-set my stove, microwave, or bedroom clock. I have one in the bathroom, kitchen and on my mantle. At least the cable TV company resets when the power comes back.

I still love real clocks! My dad used to work on clocks so they've always been a part of my home. I have digital clocks on two kitchen appliances and limited wall space so I don't have a hanging clock there. When I fix the time, it drives me crazy when it's a minute off from the time I fix one and move to the other. When I had cable TV, the time was displayed and I was so used to it that I really missed it when I cut the cord. I bought a nice table clock finally so I know when it's time to go to bed Woman LOL I had one from my mother in my bathroom when I worked so I could keep up with any threat of running late; it's still hanging although I don't really need it now. I had four watches that batteries died this summer. One by one, I put them aside to take to the jeweler until I had none. I've been using my phone for the time all summer so now am thinking I don't really need to wear a watch now. I had so many Ecclissi watches that I loved but I guess those are things of the past now.

I don't and haven't in decades.  Every device has a digital clock on it or I can ask my Google Home for the time if I'm busy cooking.

Since we moved I do not have a clock in the kitchen.  I am debating whether or not to spend $70.00 on the old fashioned felix the cat clock with the tail that swings back and fourth.  I have wanted one of those since I was a kid.

 

When my kids were young and I was a single mom I had a clock in my bathroom.  I had to keep on the time to get the 3 of us ready in the mornings.  My el cheapo I had in my bathroom quit working so I am hunting for another clock for there even tho I dont need it.  Just need one so I wont keep looking for it.  lol, and they will be analogs.

I still use analog clocks, I have one in the kitchen, great room and 2 bathrooms.  I like them because even though I have clocks on the microwave, wall oven and cable box the numbers are small and hard to read.

 

I can see the clocks without my glasses.

@Kachina624 I do too, I particularly love mantle clocks and wish we had a mantle to display one. I love the chimes to remind us of the passing time! Those transport to my childhood. We have an old cuckoo clock that my father brought home from the Black Forest, but it no longer functions. I wish I had someone that would love and appreciate it. . .

I do--it's a clock made from a ceramic plate and runs on a battery. Have had it since the 80's--

Go figure my mentality in the kitchen:  I have a digital clock on the stove console. 

 

There's a digital clock displayed on the microwave screen.

 

I have an 8" Alexa Show that displays digital  time, the date, and temperature, sitting on the kitchen table.

 

i keep all the digital clocks carefully set so they are sync'ed to show the same time, or change time within seconds of each other. (Annoying re-set for all three after a power outage!)

 

And there is a 10"  round, battery operated analog clock with big numbers and a sweep second hand, hign on the wall where I can see it at a glance.  It's the one clock I tend to look at most often.

In addition to all the clocks on our appliances & electronics, we still own a cuckoo clock, a grandfather clock & a Westminster chime wall clock.  They certainly come in handy during our frequent power outages, not to mention I love hearing them do their thing.
