Got myself Seiko 5 field watch as a starter, the cheapest automatic. Thought I would be ok with minute numbers being bigger than hour numbers but no. Everytime I looked, had to do some mental gymnastics for a second. After a month of this decided to switch it to no numbers at all. Today received the dial, switched it over. Omg, this is so much easier to read.
Totally understandable! I have very similar reasons for trading my smart watches for digital casios, and avoiding analog (cause I suck at reading analog watches/clocks lol, it takes me way longer to read than it should)
