It's funny how different people have different ideas about what's legible and usable.
I've never seen that model in person but in general I find skinny silver hands on a white dial tend to be less than ideal for legibility.
And while the numeric minute markers are clever and legible, they seem wholly unnecessary to me -- when looking at an analog clock I'm nearly always going to round it off to the nearest 5 minutes in my head anyway. "Oh, it's almost 4:15" or "Oh, it's about 1:30" etc.
Which is not to say anything you're saying is "wrong!" I just think it's interesting how different people think about time and watches differently. One of my favorite things about the watch hobby.
Interesting that you round. I wish I could just be fine with rounding but if I’m being honest with myself I’m anal-retentive when it comes to time. My clocks have to be atomic-synced too. Maybe I need to go all digital. I agree that black on white would add contrast and improve it.
