analogue watch

Analog watch (sometimes spelled analogue watch) is an example of a retronym.

An old-fashioned analogue watch and a chunky bracelet on the right wrist might be observed through half-closed lids.

An analogue watch user will just glance at the timepiece and say, '.it's about a quarter to five'.

'If you aren't looking to spend money on a quality analogue watch, the digital market is really where it's at,' says Gurney."

It was coined to distinguish analogue watches, which had simply been called "watches", from newer digital watches; see watch and clock.
