How to choose a women’s watch

About how to choose a women’s watch and not miscalculate, we asked from Irina Ivanova, marketing specialist of the Moscow Time company. She spoke about three classifications of watches, their technical features and gave recommendations on how to use them.

Dress style watch

Watch accessory as an addition to the image. Like jewelry. Like jewelry. Like clothes. Like makeup. Like a hairstyle.

Usually such watches are bought as a final touch to a portrait. Since the majority of women have several “stage images”, there is usually more than one watch in their collection. In the considered price range, almost all models are equipped with a quartz movement with a pointer indication, powered by a battery, occasionally from a solar battery. The case of such watches is mainly made of high-quality stainless steel. Very inexpensive models can be equipped with cases made of inexpensive alloys, such as alloy, brass and the like. 3 main colors: “silver”, “yellow gold”, “pink gold”. Only watches in a steel case “under silver” do not have any coating. On all other watches in metal cases, a layer of material of the desired color is applied, usually by spraying. This implies increased care during operation: any serious damage to the surface layer will lead to the loss of the attractive appearance of your favorite watch. There are two main types of fastening: these are metal bracelets and straps, mainly made of leather or leatherette. In recent years, straps made of various polymer materials such as silicone, polyurethane, synthetic rubber, etc. have become increasingly popular. The main advantages of such belts are an endless variety of colors and unpretentiousness in operation. It should be noted that it is much easier to find an additional branded strap on sale than a metal or ceramic bracelet. Separately, it is worth mentioning the watches in cases made of polymeric materials. Like straps, such watches can be of absolutely any color and have good resistance to external influences.

Sport style watch

Hours-accessory for active life. There may be a dress style for girls who prefer a sporty and free style. The case and strap are usually made from a variety of polymeric materials. Shock resistance, good water protection – very useful properties for lovers of an active lifestyle. They often have additional functions such as an alarm clock, stopwatch, timer, pedometer, etc.

Unlike dress style watches, you can afford to buy a watch of your favorite color and size. And then pick up all the other details of the sports image for them.

Smart watch

Watch-device. Can be customized for any situations, any clothes, any activities.

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, accelerometer, ambient light, gyroscope, heart rate, pedometer, independent GPS, NFC contactless payments, speaker, microphone, vibration, altimeter, notifications (SMS, Email, calendar, applications), time in different time zones , alarm clock, stopwatch, music storage and control, watch faces change, phone synchronization, etc. etc. All these and a number of other functions are a modern wrist gadget, an addition to your smartphone. The materials used in the manufacture can be completely different. But in this case, the internal stuffing and the functionality that it provides are much more important.

Watch service

Maintenance of quartz watches comes down to the periodic replacement of the battery. During the warranty period, you must contact the watch service center indicated in the warranty card. As well as on the issue of replacing the strap with a similar branded one. You can remove the links from the bracelet either on your own, or in any watch service or even a household. Since the watch is not opened during this procedure, there will be no problems with warranty service in the future.
