That is not true for sweep second hands (like genuine Rolex). Most cheap watches stop on each second (as do phony Rolex). Digitals of course show discrete numbers one after the other.

A digital display is pulsed. If you blink at the right time, it is blank. Likewise, if you blink at the right time it stands still. Because the display turns on and off almost instantaneously, you get this effect. There is no persistence with an LED, as on a TV screen.

When an analog worked they worked well. What made analogs outdated was that they had more moving parts and wore out faster. They also cost more to manufacture eventually. And finally, they were not as accurate.
