How to see the quality of a watch

The appearance can be checked from the aspects of case, mirror, dial and pointer.

2. Sensitivity

The sensitivity of a watch refers to whether the balance wheel in the watch starts early or late. One of the inspection methods is to gently shake the watch that has not been wound and stopped, and observe the movement of the second hand with the help of the shaking force.

If the second hand doesn't go in a short time, it means that this watch can be completely loosened after it is fully wound, and the sensitivity is relatively high; If the second hand keeps moving for a long time, it means that the watch can't be completely loose after being fully wound, the sensitivity is not high, or the internal parts are faulty.

3. Efficiency

Normal watches, when the winding shaft rotates, feel very loose at first, and gradually become more and more tight. When it can no longer rotate forward, it means that the spring has been completely tightened.

4. Watch hands

There should be a certain gap between the pointer and the glass, between the three hands and between the pointer and the dial. If they rub against each other, it will affect walking.

Step 5 be tight

This is to check whether the parts of the needle moving parts are installed properly.

6. Walking sound

According to different standards, watches can be divided into many different types. In social situations, people generally distinguish their categories according to their prices. According to this standard, watches can be divided into four categories: luxury watches, high-end watches, mid-range watches and low-end watches.

At present, the price of luxury watches is above 1 10,000 yuan, high-grade watches are between 2000- 1 10,000 yuan, middle-grade watches are between 500-2000 yuan, and low-grade watches are below 500 yuan. When choosing a specific type of watch, you should first do what you can, and don't do anything beyond your ability. In addition, we should also consider a series of related factors such as personal occupation, appearance occasion, communication object and the clothes we choose at the same time.

B. Classification by style

According to the different styles of watches, watches can also be divided into fashion watches (such as Longines), fashion watches (such as Armani), leisure watches (such as Tissot), sports watches (such as Casio) and business watches (such as Neon).

2) shape

The appearance of a watch is often related to its value and grade. Watches worn on formal occasions should be solemn and conservative, and should not be unfamiliar or fashionable.

Men, especially venerable people and the elderly, should pay more attention. Novel and chic watches are only suitable for girls and children. Generally speaking, round, oval, square, rectangular and diamond watches are widely used, especially for formal occasions.

(3) Color

Choose a watch to wear on formal occasions, and its color stress circle is complicated and messy. Generally, you should choose a monochrome watch or a two-color watch, and don't choose a watch with three colors or more.

Gold watch, silver watch and black watch, that is, watches with gold, silver and black dial, case and strap, are the most ideal choices. Watches with golden case, strap and milky white dial can stand the test of time and will not be out of date in any era.

(4) mode

Except for numbers, trademarks, factory names and brands, there is no need for other useless patterns to appear on the watch. It is especially important to keep this in mind when choosing a watch on formal occasions. If the patterns on the watch are strange and varied, it is not only not conducive to use, but may make people laugh.

(5) Function

Timing is the main function of a watch. Therefore, watches used in formal occasions, whether they are pointer-type, word-skipping or time-telling, should have this function, and they should be accurate to time and minutes, preferably to seconds. Only the watches that were allowed at that time obviously did not meet the requirements.

Some additional functions, such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, direction, blood pressure, pace, etc. , are dispensable, it is better to do nothing. In a word, the functions of watches should be few and precise, and they should be of practical value.

(6) Materials

The existing watchcase materials include alloy, steel, ceramics and silicone. Generally, the price of alloy watches is below that of 300 yuan, while the price of steel watches is above 1000 yuan (for example, Tissot watches are mainly steel watches). According to different ceramic materials, the price of ceramic watches ranges from 500 to 2000 yuan, while the price of watches with silicone case is mostly below 1000 yuan.
