Digital clock
open-in-new
<p>A digital clock displays the time <a href="/facts/Digital_data/JChckAvr">digitally</a> (i.e. in numerals or other symbols), as opposed to an <a href="/facts/Clock/MYolzNkw">analogue clock</a>. </p><p>Digital clocks are often associated with electronic drives, but the "digital" description refers only to the display, not to the drive mechanism. (Both analogue and digital clocks can be driven either mechanically or electronically, but "clockwork" mechanisms with digital displays are rare.) </p>
