Do you like digital clocks?

I do, they're easy to read.

I do, for the same reason, plus sometimes they are radio synced with the atomic clocks.

They are very accurate and present the time in a very easy to see and exact way. A fast glance at it tells you it's "11:58" instead of "almost twelve o'clock".

I'm indifferent, but clocks with an interesting design are cool

I like them, especially the ones with the pea green numbers.

I'm much better at reading analogue clocks.

I like digital clocks. They can be seen in the dark.

Yes. But I also like antique clocks.

I have a digital clock radio that I've owned since the early 90s, and I like it because it still works great and I can tell the time in the dark.

I'm confused how that even works, given that digital clocks don't require any deciphering while analog clocks do.

I just know the time immediately at just a glance at an analogue clock. Digital can put me in a muddle sometimes, as I have that disorder where you lack basic (and challenging) math skills. Like say if it's 4:55 I still associate it with 4 even though it's nearly an hour past 4, so I have to picture an analogue clock to work it out, which takes a bit longer (well, just a second or two longer) than when reading an analogue clock.
The 24-hour digital clock throws me the most. Obviously I know how to read all clocks but the 24-hour one requires me to have to do math, after 1pm. And I hate doing math.

I am so bad at math, that when I have taken the time to learn how a type of math works I just about understand it and then it's gone again.

But I'm clever in other things though. I have just written an 88,000+ word novel with an excellent plot I had worked out all by myself, and lots of people in my social circle are amazed and are interested in reading it.
