Why are people still into it, since digital watches are easier to read and have features like timers, chronograph (with memory) and alarm(s).

I would like to add one more reason.
It is far easier with an analog watch to see how much time is LEFT, or how much more time you have until your appointment.
Say it is 9:37 and your meeting is at 10:10 . A quick look at the analog watch and you know you have about 30 minutes.
With a digital watch, you need to do a more complicated subtraction.

I just feel there's something elegant and classy about a nice analog watch. It takes a lot more craftsmanship to create an elegant timepiece than it does a digital watch. Besides, I like it when someone asks me the time and I respond with "half past, or a quarter past the hour" and the confused look I get from the asker. Besides, unless your into competition, who need as the extras anyway?

Besides being easier to read at a glance, analog watches help you see your deadlines creeping up on you. Some of the best analog watches are completely mechanical and split each second into many parts so you see fluid motion from the second hand.

A quality analog watch is a valuable piece of jewelry.
A digital watch is a cheap toy made in Taiwan.
When there is a choice between utility and aesthetics, some will choose utility. Others won't.
Another idea-it may be partly due to the same reason old people generally dislike and mistrust computers.

the reality is that analog watches are easier to read.
if it slight outside and your watch says 11pm you know its 11am because your brain figures that 11am is in the morning.
even a glance at an analog watch can give you an approximate time - digital requires that you focus and interpret the time as numbers

analog watches give you a sense of the bigger picture. digitals give you that hour, that minute, that second..analogs allow you to see where 2:55 fits in with the rest of the day....

I like them because they tend to look more feminine for women and in general they are classic. I also think it depends on what you are doing while wearing it.

Because they are pretty, classy and just "nice".
I like them.
That's reason enough for me.
