If you need an elegant pocket watch,All about fancy pocket watch models Articles something simple and leather strap can be a good option. It is interesting that a large clock with subdual functions, gives the perception of being bigger. However if you wear a watch for different occasions, a suit or jeans, must be strong and stylish metal strap is a better choice than leather. An analog clock with timer is most striking is a good option if you do not want to miss. What if you simply get a pocket model?

Some terminology will help you choose better. The dial is the disk that is under the glass where the numbers are printed. Complications are features that add functionality to watches as timers, alarms, perpetual calendars, etc. The pocket watch mechanism is as the basic ones. The clock mechanism is what is usually under the dial and also to move the pointers is also responsible for counting the time. Energy is supplied by a battery or battery and progress is governed by the oscillation of a quartz crystal. It is considerably more accurate than a mechanical watch. It allows more complications (or complexity) than mechanical devices.

They have the disadvantage of requiring periodic battery replacement (except Seiko Kinetic watches or Citizen Eco-Drive) quartz watches without disposable battery. Some pocket watch models have advantages of automatic mechanical watches coupled with the advantages of quartz watches. They may even have the precision of quartz watches, some have complexities as a stopwatch and alarm, no need to be opened to replace the battery and can remain unused for a long time and keep the time. In addition some are sophisticated. As automatic pocket watch models these watches use a counterweight inside that rotates. When the user moves around, this began to change. This counter passes a magnet near a coil generates electricity which is stored in a rechargeable battery. Originally battery technology allowed the clock to remain in motion.

As far as waterproof capabilities, some pocket watch models resists 50m (equivalent to "water resist 5bar" or WR50): If the watch has a few years of use or the last change of packing, you can shower or swim with him, but you should not dive with it. Water resists 100m (equivalent to "resist 10bar water" or WR100): You can dive in apnea (a lung) apart from swimming. If you are a regular swimmer and swim very strong, we recommend this watch compared to "water resist 50m."Make wise choices!
