My experience is that I didn’t really ‘get’ analog clocks until I was old enough to start managing my own schedule. They’re useful for quickly visualizing addition/subtraction of intervals*, but until I was a grown-up I just didn’t need that skill, since times were always told to me by adults rather than something I regularly needed to calculate for myself.

* (“How long until I need to leave to catch the bus for that appointment? Oh, it’s twenty to quarter before half past three, I still have some time”)
