That’s really interesting! It’s definitely one of those differences between America and Europe that isn’t really noticed. For me, seeing a digital clock would definitely get the “oooh, that’s fancy” response. Like there are places that have a clock in the corner of a digital display for something else (eg, the displays at the train station listing the next train have a clock in the corner too), but when it’s just there purely to tell the time, it’s almost always an analogue one. I can’t even remember the last time I saw a digital one!
