Still got the concept backwards. "Analog watch" is an example because you used to be able to call it a "watch," there being no other kind. Then digital watches came about and we couldn't just say "watch" anymore for the old kind we had to say "analog watch." "Analog watch" is a retronym, "digital watch" isn't.
