Watch

Types and Usage

A watch showcases the wearer’s personality. It can also convey his taste, wealth and even humor. Choosing a watch is so overwhelming. There are so many things to consider. Having an appropriate watch for any event in your life will ensure that you really are dressing the part wherever life takes you.

Watches need to be looked after thoroughly. Many things can affect your watch, dust, wind, and a lot more. Keeping them away from these elements and storing them the right way isn’t that difficult.

There are Best 12 Types of Watches:

1. Analog Watch: Analog watches have displays with a miniature clock-face with 12 hours, an hour hand, and a minute hand.

2. Digital Watch: Digital Watch is a watch in which the hours, minutes, and sometimes seconds are indicated by digits, rather than by hands on a dial.

3. Automatic Watch: An automatic watch is a watch that continues to operate due to the regular motion of the wearer’s wrist. Automatic wristwatches don’t need winding if worn daily. The energy is stored by using a half-disc metal weight, called a rotor, that spins when the arm is moved. This energy is used to power the watch and can keep the watch going at night or while the watch isn’t being worn. Stored energy in an automatic wristwatch can keep an unworn watch running for 24 to 48 hours. Also, called as Self-Winding Watch.
