I can't tell if it is just me, but a digital analogue clock is weird. I'm all for analogue time keeping with hands circling a face, but when it is put on a flat screen, it feels cheap.

There aren't enough buttons, there is too much to read, and all of this while I'm driving.

I remember my friends dad had a Corvette or something in the mid-late 90s, and it had this red projected HUD on the windshield. All of your information was right at eye level, and you never had to look away from the road to see your RPM or speed, and probably more, but that was 30ish years ago, and I barely remember yesterday.

GM has kept the HUD thing going for a few decades now. They offer it on a good number of vehicles in their GMC lineup. I have it on my vehicle now and it's absolutely amazing. I find I rarely look inside the vehicle at the 14" infotainment screen. It shows speed, cruise control status and alerts, navigation, and a popup of song title if I manually change songs with the steering controls. I find I'm lost and heavily distracted when I get in my wife's vehicle without a HUD.

Also, my vehicle is a truck, one of the last places where manufacturers still let you have buttons and knobs to control climate.

I have a HUD in my BMW and it's utterly useless unless it's night time since it doesn't work with polarized sunglasses.

The watch face can change, repurposing the hands for a stopwatch and compass mode.

Everything about this design has a dichotomous personality. The smoothness of the materials and rounded edges can’t make up for the disparate and forced combobulation to get…this…

Our Mazda came with a HUD. It works well. Pretty great to have info like speed limit, next nav instruction, BLIS info right in your line of sight without being intrusive IMO.

The whole thing kind of looks cheap tbh.

The speedo and rev counter are exactly where they should be. What else do you need to read while driving?

What buttons are you missing?

Who needs a rev counter on an EV?

America loves an analogue clock in a car.
