Asked on March 23, 2021 in Single word requests.
“Timepiece” is the correct hypernym, but in this context, you could also say
I can’t read analog clock faces.
The clock face is the face of the device that you read, and it’s called a “clock face” even if it’s part of a watch rather than a clock. How do you read tape or barometers? Can the terms “clock face” be used in the
exact same way (e.g. “clock face” is best).
