Some tips for buying a watch

The watch is a dual function of timing and decoration we buy a watch when the mentality is different, some people will only choose imported brand-name watches; Some people pay more attention to strong durable quality and low price; Some people only pick the appearance of the style beautiful; Some people focus on the function of the watch. This also shows that the watch is not only a small precision timekeeping device, but also an important decoration for people. This is just like jewelry, from a person wearing a watch, can reflect his age, gender, occupation, personality, aesthetic concepts, social levels and so on. Watches and clothing have the same place, it is inappropriate for adults to wear fashion watches or teenagers to wear expensive designer watches. Generally speaking, young people are more fashionable, they can choose sports or new fashion models; Beautiful women choose slim and compact watches; A socially successful man must wear a fancy watch. If you have more than one watch, then you can choose to wear it during business, leisure, meetings, and banquets.

The value of the watch is mainly reflected in the brand, followed by the appearance of the watch, if you put aside the appearance of the watch, the quality and difference of the watch movement of almost the same grade and type are not too big, LONGINES and OMEGA, but their prices are a lot different. Therefore, to find a cost-effective watch, you do not have to choose a familiar brand name.

Some people should not wear automatic watches People who do not have enough exercise every day, the elderly and the infirm and people who sit and work for a long time, it is best not to wear automatic watches. This is because the automatic watch is not "automatic", it must rely on the continuous swing of the human arm, so that the continuous rotation of the heavy hammer on the watch movement to drive the spring wind tight, to achieve the purpose of winding. Once the amount of exercise is insufficient, the watch spring will not be completely filled, the watch will often stop, the length of the walk is not enough or the problem of wearing it to stop, and the watch error of the watch will also become larger. Therefore, it is recommended that people who do not have enough exercise, it is best to choose to wear a quartz watch or a manually wound mechanical watch.

Mechanical watches and quartz watches should be said to have advantages and disadvantages, the two types of watches have nothing to do with value, and have nothing to do with service life. Strictly speaking, quartz watches do not have as big a wear problem as mechanical watches, and the drill number of the movement is very small. The biggest advantage of quartz watch is that it has high accuracy, is more convenient to wear, and is easy to make very thin and small. The mechanical watch core is more technological, the collection and appreciation value is higher, but the case thickness is generally larger (especially the table with automatic and calendar, weekly calendar, calculation chronograph function); There are mechanical women's watches travel accuracy is mostly lower than men's watches. If the figure is convenient, you can choose a quartz watch, especially those who are more demanding on the accuracy of the travel time should choose a quartz watch. However, for extremely small or ultra-thin quartz watches, it is necessary to consider whether the battery is convenient to replace, and the smaller and thinner the battery, the more expensive the price.

Choose the type of watch case to consider the material of the case is common K gold, gold plating, titanium, stainless steel, semi-steel plated sheet, alloy shell, etc., K gold case only brand-name high-grade watches are used, the price of the watch is always more than tens of thousands of yuan; The semi-steel (only the back cover of the watch is stainless steel) chrome-plated watches are low-grade watches, and the case is easy to be corroded. The gold-plated case is more beautiful and beautiful, but there is no certain gold-plated thickness (including the strap), it is also easy to be worn off, and it is very ugly when worn off. If you want to choose a gold-plated table, the coating thickness is preferably above 10 microns. The titanium plated table is relatively strong and wear-resistant, that is, the color is not very good-looking; Now more popular is the gold case strap (gold or gold-plated and stainless steel) is more beautiful and durable. Gold-plated watches are more expensive than all-steel watches, and watches with leather straps are much cheaper than those with the same steel straps. Now the watch standard on the metal nickel harm to the human body, mainly some people long-term exposure to nickel skin allergy.

People who love to sweat, people who love to exercise, outdoor workers, and people who have long-term exposure to chemical acid and alkali substances (medical workers) should wear stainless steel shells. Mercury-containing chemicals (reagents) are very damaging to K-gold and gold plating, and will discolor the gold. Copper electroplated watch head, watch case and watch band inside side is easy to be corroded by sweat, so that the coating off is best not selected. Steel strap has empty core and solid core points, empty core strap weight is low stop watch, solid core strap is more durable. The stitching and buckle between the strap section are the most prone to problems when fitting the belt, and must be carefully inspected when buying the watch. Some buckle for a long time open and close easy problems, the "butterfly" buckle, and the ceramic strap is easy to break, these should also be considered before purchase.

Buy a high-end watch to consider the future repair and maintenance are said to be poor play car, rich play table. Like the car, the watch needs to be washed and maintained, and the more expensive the watch maintenance costs are higher, (like the oil washing price of ROLEX watches is generally more than 2000 yuan). There are watchbands, glass and other vulnerable appearance parts, if it is a special-shaped case in the future may not be easy to match. Therefore, to consider the after-sales service of the watch and the supply of accessories, usually the use of the mainland's movement (ETA movement) watches, as well as big brand watches are not a big problem.
