How to choose a wristwatch

Today it is difficult to imagine a stylish business person without watch on his hands. After all, they not only allow you to find out the exact time, but also emphasize the individual taste of the owner. And in order for the clock to serve you for many years and at the same time do not stop decorating your wrist, you need to correctly approach their selection. For this, there are some subtleties that we will talk about today. What is watches, and which one to choose from them will tell you later.

How to choose a wristwatch: Product style

Before choosing a clock, you should wonder what you will wear with and on what occasion. When choosing a watch, think about the fact that this is not only a means of determining the time, but also an accessory that allows you to tell a lot about your character, habits, taste, style and manner to dress.

Today there are a huge number of various models, each of which differs in shape and color. When choosing the style of the product, and it doesn’t matter if it will be men's or women's watches, first of all, you should focus on the clothes that you wear.

The most optimal option would be to find a universal product model that will be well combined with everyday clothes and your official things. True, if you know for sure for what purpose you need a watch, and with what clothes you will wear them, then you can select the product for it.

How to choose a casual style watch

Casual implies convenience, comfort, and at the same time practicality. When choosing a wristwatch in this style, first of all, you should think about whether these models are suitable for you and your rhythm of life. For example, in the coloring of the product should be shades that are in clothes from your everyday wardrobe.

Next, you should pay attention to other elements. So, for example, it should be a convenient and well -read dial. If this is a mechanical watch, then give preference to models with a clear and noticeable second arrow or date window.

The accessory should sit well on the arm. Therefore, it is important that the bracelet is convenient. The lightest material for this is the skin, but it has one significant drawback - it does not tolerate the effect of moisture. Metal bracelets are much more resistant to moisture, but they are heavy. True, not all metal bracelets are of great weight. So, titanium products are considered light enough. The highest degree of moisture protection is rubber and rubber. They are suitable for those who play sports.

It should be borne in mind that such accessories are usually worn almost every day. Therefore, it is recommended to take hours that do not cause inconvenience. In particular, it is better not to purchase models equipped with sharp corners, massive and protruding buttons or a dial, which is difficult to read.

How to choose a watch in a classic style

Under the costume, as a rule, they put on a watch of a strict classic style. Their distinctive features:

1. Simplicity.
2. Strictness and conciseness of forms.
3. Elegance.
4. Lack of massive and bright details.

How to choose male watch watches. Models "under the suit" are usually equipped with a thin dial. It has a round, barrel -shaped or rectangular shape. The accessory should not interfere with the sleeves of the shirt. Therefore, the thickness of the case of such hours is minimal. As for the price of the product, it is believed that it should be no less than the cost of the costume. Therefore, for such a case, it is better to choose a Swiss watch.

How to choose women's watches. When choosing the models “under the dress”, first of all, you should decide whether this accessory stands out or better for it to hide under the clothes. So, femininity and grace emphasize a small watch. And products with a more massive case will allow the woman to seem even more fragile.

How to choose a sports style watch

The sports clock is additionally equipped with a timer, a stopwatch and an alarm clock. Therefore, they are usually more massive. If necessary, you can choose a watch with moisture protection. It is recommended to choose what will like the strap as a strap, but rubber, rubber and plastic are considered the most suitable.

How to choose a fashion - watch

These models are designed to reflect your personality. These are fashionable and bright accessories without complex mechanisms. They can have both a miniature and a massive corps. Fashion - a watch - a suitable option for people who do not dare to wear bright colors in clothes. In a word, this is the choice of those who like to experiment.

How to choose luxury - watch

Thanks to the good material and the quality of execution, these expensive watches can become a family relic for many generations. The most popular of them are the Swiss watches. Only when choosing it is worth considering that the country of assembly of the product usually reflects the shortcut on which Swiss Made or Swiss Movement can be written.

How to choose a watch models

Aviation ("pilot") watches have the following distinctive features:

1. Massive and well -readable dial.
2. Big control button.
3. Large clockwork head.

How to choose a wristwatch: parts of the product

Before choosing a wristwatch, you should familiarize yourself with the internal components of the product.

Choose a clock

This is a metal shell of a watch that protects the main mechanism from damage. Its reliability and strength directly affect the life of the accessory. As materials for the case, it is used:

1. Stainless steel.
2. Titanium.
3. High -quality silver.
4. Gold.
5. Platinum.
6. Flexible brass.
7. Copper
8. Golden or silver spraying.

Choose watch arrows

These are indicators indicating time indicators (hours, minutes and seconds). The following types of shooters are distinguished:

1. Alpha.
2. Baton.
3. Dauphine.
4. Luminous.
5. Skeleton.

Internal elements of the clock

1. Mechanism. The accuracy of the watch depends on its assembly quality. These elements can be mechanical or quartz (work at the expense of the battery). There are hours with a car factory.
2. Balance. An element ordering the movement of the clock. Its design has pendulums and a spring.
3. Wheel system. It is a series of small elements that, using shocks, set in motion the main watch mechanism. The system transfers energy to the regulator, reporting time using pulses.
4. Trigger. It is an element that evenly controls pulses coming from the wheeled system. At the same time, it measures and divides the calculated time into equal parts.
5. Engine. This device that evenly distributes and generates the energy received from the trigger element. Thanks to him, the hands of the clock rotate.
6. Clothing spring. It is a source of energy of mechanical models. The spring is driven by hand manually or by means of a car factory when the wrist moves. Energy is released when it is smoothly promoted. The spring moves the drum, it launches the engine and the operating control regulator.

What watches to choose

The choice of wristwatch must be approached consciously. First you should decide on some parameters and one of them is the type of product. Today there are mechanical and quartz clocks on the market. If you do not go into technical details, their main differences is the combination of “price-quality”. At the same time, quartz models are usually inferior to mechanical in terms of external attractiveness. However, they are the best in accuracy. Today there are even hybrid options. One of them is car quarry models. In addition, there is an electronic clock. Now more about everything.

Watch of mechanical clock

Picture: Mechanical watches

Before choosing a wristwatch, we will get acquainted with the features of mechanical models. In such products, the power source is a spring element. When it starts and spins, it drives a special pendulum in motion, which is in contact with the wheel device after uniform periods of time. This, in turn, leads the arrow of the dial in motion. Moreover, in such watches, time is shown only with the help of time shooters.

The main disadvantage of the mechanical type of product is that the speed of the institution of the spring mechanism is not the same. Because of this, the necessary accuracy of the fluctuations of the pendulum is lost. For this reason, the clock can delay or vice versa in a hurry.

In general, such an error exists in all mechanical products and officially ranges from +35 to -20 seconds per day. To reduce it, use an additional device called an automatic screening. Such products are called "Clock with Auto Puttings" or otherwise "automatic".

Thanks to this mechanism, an additional twisting of the spring occurs. True, here it is necessary to take into account several nuances. The fact is that although in such models the spring mechanism is twisted for a long time, but not without the intervention of the owner of the watch. Also, the part that provides the auto -toch, increases the weight of the clock, weights them, and this is unacceptable for products intended for women. In addition, the repair of such models, due to the presence of a car factory, becomes somewhat more complicated, which affects its value. In addition, with a breakdown, you may be offered to simply remove this element from the clock. Then they will become ordinary mechanical, which require a systematic frequent manual plant.

It is worth saying that the mechanical clock is still in great demand, even though they are not the most accurate, require a daily plant and their functionality depends on weather conditions. This is not surprising. Indeed, with proper operation and periodic conduct of preventive measures, mechanical products will work regularly for several decades. We can say that this is inexpensive watches, but very durable.

The quartz clock is wristwing

Before choosing a quartz clock, you should find out a little about their device. The power source of such products is usually a simple battery, less often sunny. At the same time, in this watch, instead of the pendulum, there is a crystal of quartz, which, in fact, is the main element of the electronic generator. It gives uniform and permanent impulses to a step -by -step electric motor, which, in turn, has an effect on the wheeled mechanism. As a result of which arrows on the hourly dial are moving.

Unlike mechanical accessories, quartz are equipped not only with an arrow with arrows, but also with a digital display. Such products, as a rule, are quite reliable and have high accuracy. At the same time, they have a small course error, which is officially 20-22 seconds per month or 1 minute a year. The quartz clock does not need to be constantly started. At the same time, they will not lag, unless, of course, the battery sits down. Nevertheless, the quartz crystalline usually ages over time, which often leads to a hurry of hours. Although, theoretically, quartz models in the durability parameter should not be inferior to mechanical. In fact, it is the mechanical products that work for the longest. Another plus of quartz watches is that their functionality does not depend on weather conditions.

Electronic watch is wristwing

When choosing a wristwatch, be sure to read electronic models. They have no shooters, but there is only a display on which the numbers are displayed. The pulses emitted by the electric generator are converted into signals. We see them on the display in the form of familiar seconds and minutes on the dial.

Today there are also hybrid models in which the time on the dial is visible both on the display and with the help of shooters. If necessary, the number on the display can be changed, and the arrows are brought, but at the same time the generator fluctuations will never change. Although, there are products in which, when correcting the time value, the frequency of the generator vibration also changes.

How to choose the right watch watch in parameters

Bracelet, watch strap

To begin with, it is still worth buying a watch that is fixed on the hand with a bracelet, and the strap can be bought later. After all, they are less wear -resistant.

The bracelet is usually made from:

• stainless steel,
• light titanium that does not cause an allergic reaction,
• precious metal.

Due to the fact that the bracelet has removable links, it is easy to adjust it to the size of the arm. It is durable, while it looks pretty attractive.

To some people, the bracelet seems uncomfortable, heavy or cold. Then they choose a watch with a strap. Today you can choose products of any color. It is usually made from:

• fabrics,
• soft calf skin,
• rubber,
• plastic,
• the skin of some exotic animals.

True, with intense wear, he loses his qualities in a year.

Dial, glass glass

The dial can be safely called the face of the clock. It can be either with ordinary arrows, or a display or with both (combined options).

The dial, among other things, performs an aesthetic function. For example, it can have a fairly bright color and bizarre shape, the numbers can be figured in order to facilitate their reading.

As for the glass, it can be made of:

• flexible plastic,
• high -quality crystal,
• artificial sapphire,
• mineral component.

The highest quality, reliable and wear -resistant is considered artificial sapphire. Such glass is almost impossible to scratch and is very problematic to break. The second most comprehensive mineral coating is considered. The most short -lived option is glass glass.

How to choose a wristwatch: product functionality

Before buying a wristwatch, it is important to choose their functionality. So, for someone it needs very accurate time indicators, and someone from the clock only needs an alarm. In addition, some may be of interest to such product characteristics as water resistance and impact resistance. How to choose men's watches and female wrist models according to these parameters, we will tell you later.

Sundial

This is a watch that can accumulate the energy of the sun, thanks to which the mechanism can work without a battery.

Atomic clock

These products, using a radio signal, check the time with reference hours in which it is measured by fluctuations in high -precision atoms. These models are considered the most reliable and accurate.

Anturement models of the watch

The mechanical anti -suggestion watches provide for the protection of individual nodes, thanks to which the product continues to work after falling from a height of about one meter. For example, such a protection may have such a balance. Some quartz models can withstand a drop from a height of 10 meters.

Waterproof clock

Usually these are models in which all connections are protected by special seals that do not allow moisture to penetrate inward. It is only worth knowing that the pressure indicated on the lid or dial is a static indicator. When handing in water, the pressure significantly exceeds this value.

How to choose a wristwatch: Product shape

Products are distinguished in shape:

1. Round.
2. Rectangular.
3. Square.
4. Barrel -shaped.

Round products are considered the most popular today. The classic form is considered rectangular. The barrel -shaped clock can be made in a unique and elegant retro style.

A few tips for choosing a watch

1. Buy only those models of the clock that you can afford.
2. You always need to buy only for yourself, and not for the purpose of making any impression on someone. Listen to your preferences and wishes.
3. Do not choose a watch, the style of which you do not like at all because they have an excellent mechanism. It is important to consider all parameters at the same time.
4. When choosing a clock, you should pay attention to their size. So, very large models on a small wrist will look “rude” and ridiculous.
5. The color of the clock is important. So, products made of white gold and platinum are suitable for almost everything.
