Everyone wants to buy a nice looking designer watch and above all they want it to last for a long time, as a well made and quality watch should last for many years, with it only needing a new battery once a year. As technology improves, so does the quality and type of watches that are manufactured by some of the leading brands, but there are still two types of movements, mechanical and electronic, and we take a look at the difference below. Mechanical Movement Watches When watches were first produced, they were all mechanical movement watches, as the technology did not exist outside of moving parts. Some watches contain many moving parts, all working together to make your watch keep time and move along, a bit like a cog like set up. When you wind one of these watches up, they then slowly let off this energy to control the movement of the watch, which is controlled to make a periodic energy release, and this is how the watch keeps time. Most of these type of watches will also use a bala

Choosing A Watch To Suit Your Style

Many of us own a watch and use on an everyday basis to simply tell the time, the question is what does your watch say about you? There are countless styles and colours to choose from when buying a watch so how do you know what one to choose. This is especially difficult when buying a watch as a gift. The first question you have to ask yourself is when will the watch be worn? If you are going to wear it on a daily basis to both work and social occasions then you have to factor this in, you may like the look of a colourful funky watch which would look great with your new jeans or trainers but how would that look if you wore it in a work environment with a suit? With this in mind your choice of watch would have to be something that would look smart and functional for work but fashionable for when you are casually dressed, so now you are looking at a metal bracelet watch or one with a leather strap.
