How long do analog watches last?

It’s hard to say exactly how long an analog or digital watch is going to last on a single battery, but very roughly speaking an analog watch might last for an average of 2 years on one battery, while a digital watch might last an average of 4 to 6 years… or even longer depending on the model of the watch.

Do digital or analog watches last longer?

The simple answer here is that the Digital Watch is more likely to last longer than the Analog watch.
