Types of Watches

Analog Watch

Analog watches have displays with a small sized clock-face or dial with 12 or 24 hours, an hour hand and a minute hand. Some analog watches also have a second hand. Most analog watches have English numerals on the dial and some have Roman numerals. Also most of the analog watches have marks representing the 60 minutes in an hour.

Digital Watch

Digital Watch is a watch in which the hours, minutes, and sometimes seconds are indicated by numerical digits on a seven segment LED, VFD or LCD display rather than by hands on a dial. Some digital watches can be switched between 12-hour and 24-hour modes. Also some emulations of analog-style faces are often used on an LCD screen, and these are also considered as “digital”.

Automatic Watch

An automatic watch continues to operate due to the regular motion of the wearer’s wrist. Automatic wristwatches don’t need winding if they are worn daily. The energy is stored by using a half-disc metal weight called a rotor, that spins when the arm is moving. This energy is stored and used to power the watch and can keep the watch going even when the watch isn’t being worn. The amount of stored energy in an automatic wristwatch can keep an unworn watch running for up to 24 to 48 hours. These are also called the Self-Winding Watch.

Chronograph Watch

“Chronograph” is just a fancy word for a “stopwatch.” Using a chronograph watch is super easy. You just press the start/stop button on the side of the watch to start or stop the stopwatch function and push the bottom button to reset the timer back to zero. The chronograph function on a Chrono watch dial lets you record the time of races and different events.

Diving Watch

Diving Watch is a watch designed for underwater diving.  It features water resistance for more than 100 m (330 ft) deep. Today, the typical diver’s watch will have a water resistance of around 200 to 300 m (660 to 980 ft). Although modern technology allows the creation of diving watches that can go much deeper. These are also called as the Dive Watch or Diver’s Watch.

Dress Watch

A dress watch is the most elegant of all watches available. It has only one purpose and that’s to tell time. But the looks of it can offer you much more than that, it will enhance your style and personality as you wear it with your usual dressy outfits. It has no complicated features and is super easy to carry on.

A dress watch needs to be simple and elegant; and above all, minimalistic. It isn’t some gaudy watch that’s bejeweled with diamonds or a chronograph or complex dial features that can make a wrist watch look like a big clock. It is subtle, understated and immensely charming. They are not intended to be worn with casual jeans and T-shirt, or to the gym or on any casual event. It pairs nicely with your business suit, your dinner jacket or blazer, and in some cases, a tuxedo.

Quartz Watch

A quartz watch is powered by an electronic oscillator, synchronized by quartz crystal. The electric current causes the quartz inside to pulsate in a precise frequency. The frequency is then broken down through an integrated circuit(IC) where the power is released through a small stepping motor, setting the watch hands in motion. Quartz watches need battery replacements from time to time.

Mechanical Watch

A mechanical watch is a watch that uses a mechanism to measure the passage of time, as opposed to modern quartz watches which function electronically. It is driven by a spring (called a mainspring) which must be wound periodically every day. This makes the signature ‘ticking’ sound characteristic of all mechanical watches.

Pilot Watch

Gracing on the wrist of pilots, these aviation timepieces have reached the apex of the ideal fusion of style and durability. From the Fortis Aviatis collection to squadron watches, pilot watches are tough and ready for anything. These timepieces are simple on the dial and are easy to read at any circumstance. The numbers on the dial are bigger and more visual than all other watches. These are also called as the Aviator Watch.

Field Watch

Field Watch was designed for officers who needed to coordinate attacks, tell time at night, and sport a wristwatch that could withstand the difficulties of battle, all while still looking good. Field watches continue to provide a military vibe and are rugged, functional, and stylish all at the same time.

SmartWatch

A smartwatch is a portable device that’s designed to be worn on the wrist, just like a traditional watch. Smartwatches are just like smartphones, they have touch screens, support various apps, can make and receive calls and often record heart rate and other vital signs.

Luxury Watch

These watches are great for watch collectors or watch enthusiasts and the ones who appreciate great precise design and handcrafted complications in a watch. Such watches are often covered in precious gemstones and other expensive materials.
