How much can you know about watches? Do you know what categories of watches are there? Do you know the difference between a mechanical watch and a quartz watch? Do you know what to do if your watch gets wet? There are so many mysteries in the world of watches that need to be discovered and explored.
Classification of watches:
Watches on the market are roughly divided into two categories: mechanical watches and quartz watches. Additional functions of mechanical watches include automatic winding, calendar display, multi-hand indication, etc. Quartz watches have many additional functions, the paint is an electronic watch with digital display, and the decorative functions of the appearance are even more colorful. High value-added ones include sapphire watch glass, ceramic case, tungsten steel case, and diamond-encrusted craftsmanship. In terms of wearing style and requirements, it can be divided into formal watches, casual watches, formal casual watches, sports watches, professional chronographs, etc. Generally speaking, different styles of watches should be worn on different occasions. From the wearer's point of view, it can be divided into men's models, women's models, unisex models and children's models.
The difference between a mechanical watch and a quartz watch:
Mechanical watches rely on mainspring winding to provide power and keep time through gear transmission. Mechanical watches are divided into manual winding and automatic winding. Due to the complex structure and the thicker phenotype, because of the characteristics of the travel time principle, it is affected by gravity, mechanical friction, temperature changes, usage conditions, etc., so the error will be larger for a quartz watch. Quartz watches rely on batteries to provide power and use the extremely stable high-frequency vibration of the quartz crystal as the benchmark for time. Of course, the appearance of quartz watches obviously has a great impact on traditional mechanical watches, but it still cannot completely replace mechanical watches.
How to solve the problem of rust spots on the all-steel case:
Under normal circumstances, all-steel watches do not rust, but everything is relative. There are many types of stainless steel. The sweat excreted by the human body contains hydrochloric acid. If the watch is worn on the hand, if it is eroded by sweat for a long time or the acid, alkali and salt dirt is allowed to accumulate without being wiped off, rust spots will gradually appear on the case, especially the back cover is concave. comes out often. Therefore, you should pay attention to the maintenance of the watch, and often wipe off the dust accumulation, sweat, etc. on the case. In addition, you should try to avoid wearing the watch in strong acid, strong alkali and other occasions, so that the all-steel watch will not have rust spots.
How to choose a watch by its appearance
(1): The watch glass should be clear, smooth, free from blisters, scratches and cracks, and should be closely matched with the watch case
(2): The case should be uniform in color, without obvious scratches, defects, or rust
(3): The back cover of the watch is clearly marked, fits closely with the case, and the sealing ring must not leak.
(4): The three hands of hour, minute and second should be straight, and there should be appropriate gaps between the needle and the needle, between the needle and the dial surface, and between the needle and the glass.
(5): The dial should be clean, uniform in color, clear in trademark and scale, and even in graduation. Calendar characters are well positioned within the box. The digital display handwriting is clear and free of defects.
(6): The movement of the mechanical watch has no plastic parts, and the oscillating weight rotates smoothly
