A watch is not only a subject of time control, but also a kind of indicator of the style, taste, and standard of living of its owner. From everyday life things, they gradually turn into the category of elements for creating a person’s image, dictate appropriate norms of behavior, and indeed they can tell a lot about the preferences of their owner.
About the benefits of electronics
There are two types of watches - mechanical and electronic. The first should be started once a day or less, depending on the device mechanism. From time to time, gears go out of order in them, the working part is clogged, so you have to go to a repair shop. And there it turns out that there are no necessary details, that the “motor” has worked out its term and cannot be restored. The same deplorable result is if the watch “dived” from a height onto something solid or fell into a liquid medium. Restoring them is unlikely to be possible.
Another thing is an electronic wristwatch! You do not need to start them, just change the battery on time. And if you take into account that the battery is calculated on average for a year, then you don’t have to “steam” at all.
In addition to such a clear advantage, these mechanisms have a number of advantages:
- shockproof. Electronic watches are not afraid of falls, as their screen is made of especially durable materials, the case is enclosed in a shell of special steel alloys or rubberized plastic of increased depreciation, and the "chassis" is placed in such a way that neither shock nor shock are reflected on it;
- water resistant. Watches are not afraid of immersion in liquids and can withstand water pressure of several tens of atmospheres;
- excellent visibility. Electronic wristwatches are distinguished by dials and displays with high clarity of image transmission. Their owner can easily find out what time it is, whether a dark night surrounds it or bright sunlight;
- multifunctionality. A modern “alarm clock” will not only tell you the exact time of your time zone, but also the world time, GMT and any country, depending on the programmed parameters. In addition, many electronic watches have a built-in compass, a GPS navigator, a chronometer and many other useful functions.
Types of watches
If you choose which watch is best to buy, you should give preference to the combined version - with a quartz and electronic movement. As for the external design and scope of use, models of this type stand out:
- classic. This men's electronic wristwatch is characterized by a strict, restrained design, classically calibrated lines, elegant simplicity, and the absence of catchy tinsel. They are perfect for a business suit or formal wear, versatile in terms of style and fashion;
- sports. They are designed for tough operation, their main indicators are wear resistance, strength, accuracy of the indicated data. Among other parameters, such electronic wristwatches are characterized by increased accuracy, they can have heart rate, heart rate, thermometer and other functions that athletes need during training and competition;
- Minicomputer watches of a modern type. They are necessary for people engaged in intellectual work: office and banking workers, businessmen. Fully justifying its name, these sophisticated devices contain both a notebook and a calculator, and even provide the ability to access the Internet.
Summary
It is clear that modern watch electronics is suitable for people with an active lifestyle, using IT-technologies, just competent and technically savvy.
