There reason this one and the analogue dials spark joy is because there’s something tangible happening in front of us. Either needles are moving or lights are being lit.
The modern iPad display just feels… disconnected, I guess
Mine’s a fully digital one but they have animations on the sides that give that sort of feedback… Without it, though, yeah, I think it would make me feel more disconnected from driving, which isn’t exactly a good thing
Also, a digital display may be quicker to read a value, but an analog dial is infinitely superior for displaying both range and rate of change, which for rapid readouts is much more significant.
