When buying a watch (whether it’s a wristwatch, an alarm clock or a wall clock), we often pay attention to the external performance, design, company, price. At the same time, often losing sight of the watch dial itself, the main function of the mechanism depends on how convenient it is. How to choose the right watch to receive from them not only aesthetic pleasure, but also always keep up to date?
Types and Features
The most common models are those in which the dial is presented as digital, analog or their symbiosis. Digital do without arrows, the time is identified by the numbers displayed on the LED or LCD screen. Analog - a traditional option with minute, hour and second hands. A combination of both types is typical for watches of a special purpose, for example, sports.
Beauty and practicality
One likes mechanical models more, others are fans of electronic modifications. When buying any of the options, it should be borne in mind that the watch dial must meet the task set before the walkers. In the event that the chronometer performs primarily a decorative function, then, of course, case design will be of paramount importance. For a living room or a library in a classic style, a cuckoo clock will be an excellent solution, and if the place permits, then a cuckoo clock with a beautiful fight. The kitchen will sparkle with new colors if you hang on the wall a model decorated with coffee beans, vanilla sticks and anise stars. For a Hi-tech style room, ultramodern pieces of glass and chrome, an original and technological look, are suitable: transparent, without a case, showing the time in different belts. In this case, the watch dial plays a secondary role, and there are no special requirements for it.
Special purpose
Another thing, say, an alarm clock. Even half asleep, glancing over him, you should easily see what time it is. Therefore, the watch dial in it is preferred the simplest, without unnecessary details. An electronic alarm clock is good in that its numbers can be easily seen in the dark, and the pleasant glow from the scoreboard can serve as a nightlight. The 24-hour format is considered more convenient. Sometimes you wake up and you won’t immediately realize what is behind the window: morning, evening, night? Another “today” or already “tomorrow”? In addition, electronic models have a louder signal of a special tone, which can only be turned off manually. If you put him a couple of steps from the bed, then the chances of oversleeping will be minimal, because you have to get up to remove the annoying squeak, and during this time the thought will already turn on that it is time to wake up completely.
Which is better?
Which is better to choose a watch dial: round, square, with Roman or Arabic numerals? This, of course, is a matter of taste. If we are talking about wrist models, then round ladies watches look softer, more feminine, and men’s watches are conservative and respectable. In addition, this form is familiar to the eye; unusual design details look more vivid on it. For those who love exclusive things, models from Iran Kiana will become a real find. The dial of a watch without an arrow is nothing compared to a watch without a dial. The uniqueness of his creation lies in the fact that the models, instead of the usual disc with numbers, have absolutely transparent glass in its place. However, this does not mean that this accessory cannot be used for its intended purpose. Time is indicated by two luminous stripes located on the edge external to the glass.
