In today's world watches are not simply a mechanism rhythmically counting minute by minute. A watch is a symbol of prestige and taste, a symbol of belonging to a particular community, therefore you should approach the choice of this accessory enough seriously.
Choosing the watch you need to clearly understand what you need them for. If for everyday wearing the classical watch is suit excellent, if for publication then jewelry or designer watch, for recreation or sports - sports watch (for underwater sports - special watch for diving). If you choose the watch for woman, it is better to do this with her participation: watch for woman is part of her wardrobe and they should be in harmony with her attire. If it is a childrens' watch, they must meet ecological requirements, should be bright and interesting, and watch for teens should be stylish in first place.
Whatever your goals, choosing watch, please draw attention to the following details:
1. Mechanism - The mechanism is perhaps the most important part of any watch, because of its reliability depends accuracy and durability of the device. Undisputed leaders on the market of watch mechanisms are Japanese (Miyota and Seiko) and Swiss (Ronda, Eta - represents the largest range of mechanisms), whose products have traditionally differed high quality, reliability and diversity. Among the companies that produce mechanisms for watches with digital display the Japanese company Casio stands out.
2. Material of watch case - There are five types of materials that are differ by degrees of strength and price range. The best materials are stainless steel and brass. These materials are used for manufacturing of watches of most prestigious brands. Plastics is stands rank below. It can be used for expensive quality watches (for example, the Japanese Casio), as well as cheap forgeries. Therefore acquiring watch made of plastics, pay attention to manufacturers. If it is a well established company on watch market you can safely buy. For manufacturing of low-cost and short-lived watches aluminium alloys are used. Titanium alloys are well-proven but assortment is not very wide. Purchasing the clock in the titanium case, again pay attention to manufacturers and... the weight of watch. Generally, the easier watch the more composed of titanium alloy. The use of some additives makes cases fragile to external influences: they can easily to scratch and even deformed.
3. Bracelet - You may approach to choosing of the bracelet from different perspectives. You can proceed from the design (especially true for womens' and designer hours) or from the material. Typically, leather bracelets absorb moisture well (except in cases where they are ingrained with a special water solution) and have a high elasticity. At the same time life of the leather bracelets much lower than metal. Metal bracelets come in two types: of all-metal chains (more expensive) and of rolled metal.
4. Watch Coatings - All coatings have nasty fact that, over time, they are obliterated. This is less related to ceramics and steel coatings, and more to coatings made of gold. The most bad option is the lacquered coating, that is readily used by Chinese manufacturers. That is why the best coverage is its absence, on the stipulation that watch is made of stainless steel, titanium alloy or brass.
5. Glass - The glass protects clock-face and arrows against damage. Glasses come in three types: plexiglass (plastic) - it is the cheapest material. It is different of weak resistance to scratching but usually not splitted; crystal (or tempered glass) - this material is resistant to scratching but is more fragile than the plexiglass; artificial sapphire - the most expensive and most wearproof material.
6. Shockproofness - The resistance of mechanism to drop on hard wooden surface from a height of 1 m. As a rule, all sports watches have high shockproof qualities.
7. Watertightness - The mechanism of watertight watch is protected by special pads from ingress of moisture. Conventional waterproof watches withstand minor ingress moisture (rain, spray), but they are unsuitable for use in the basin, shower or bath. This does not apply to sports watches and especially to diving watches - they stand watertight at depth of 100 meters.
Finally, someone want to have a prestigious watch, someone want to be a fashionable, the third prefer particular watch manufacturers, but no matter what brand and mark of the watch is - Omega Speedmaster or Citizen Women Watch - what watch to wear on your arm is up to you.
