What is the time by your Watch!

The main primary thing to see is that Whether you want a digital watch or an analog one.


The most important factor to consider in choosing a watch is how well proportioned the watch is to your wrist and hand.


If it’s too big for your wrist, it will stand out and look garish; too small and it will look like you’re wearing a lady’s timepiece.


The GENERAL RULE is, if the circumference of your wrist is 6 to 7 inches, you want to go with a watch that has a case diameter of 38-42 mm wide. If your wrist is larger than 7 inches, then you can go with cases that are 44-46 mm wide.


The best way to figure out if a watch is proportional to your wrist and hand is to try it on and eyeball it. Ask friends and family for their opinion.


Of course, watches are statement pieces. So if you want to go with the giant, like a rap-mogul watch, go right ahead.


Firstly the selection of watches based on their working


Mechanical


Quartz


Automatic


Mechanical


A mechanical watch has a movement that’s powered by a mainspring — a coiled wire of metal — that is wound by hand. Once the mainspring is wound, it slowly and evenly unwinds, causing the second hand to move in a smooth, sweeping motion around the watch’s face.


Not all mechanical movements are created equal.


No battery needed


Requires regular winding.


Expensive.


Automatic


Automatic watches are pretty much just like mechanical — they’re powered by a mainspring and use intricate gears to move the watch hands — but they don’t require the user to hand-wind the watch to keep it ticking. Instead, your movement throughout the day winds up the mainspring while you wear the watch.


No battery needed.


Don’t have to wind it by hand.


Needs to be stored in a watch winder when not in use.


Expensive.


Quartz


the watch on your wrist right now is probably a quartz watch. There’s a reason for that. Quartz watches are incredibly accurate and very affordable.


Instead of being powered by a wound mainspring, a quartz movement uses electricity from a small battery., they have a distinctive “tick tick tick” movement. It’s not as smooth as a mechanical or automatic watch.


Accurate time.


Less maintenance.


Durable.


Affordable


Selection on the basis of age and occupation


Children and Students


They mainly wear Digital watches, they need the watch mainly for playing games or in Exams in a overview.


Sports persons


There are specific Digital Watches for athletes which are of Quartz so that it shows the most accurate time like the’Seiko Sportura’ or of the James Bond type Rolex.

There are people who consider wearing Watch not just for the sake of it.And they consider wearing watch as the most important. And mind well those watches are the most expensive ones.
