Guide: Must Read The Three tips when buying a watch!
Having a nice watch is a must have for any outfit. Are you planning to buy a watch soon? Then this can be quite a job. Watches come in different shapes and sizes, each with their own functions and characteristics. Not to mention the different colors and prices ... That is why we have put together three tips that can help you make your choice!
1. Select the correct timepiece
Automatic watches
With an automatic watch, such as our Orient Mako II Automatics, the timepiece is charged by the natural movements of your wrist. While walking or moving your arms, energy is generated, this energy is stored, so you no longer need a battery! You do need a minimum number of movements per day to keep the timepiece going.
Quartz watches
A quartz watch is undoubtedly the most famous type of timepiece. This is charged by a battery that is in the watch. The battery provides vibrations at a constant frequency so that you can see the time. Quartz watches are generally known for the precision in time. In addition, they can take a beating and the battery lasts for one to five years.
Solar watches
With a solar watch, you guessed it, the timepiece rotates with energy from light . This light can be both sun and artificial light. In the solar cell of the watch, this light is converted and stored in electrical energy. With the help of an indicator you can easily read the status of the battery. Our TechnoMarine Cruise men's watch also runs on light.
2. Choose the correct size
Have you ever considered the right size for your wrist? A watch that is too large quickly looks unkempt and that is exactly what you do not want. The size largely determines how the replica watches india looks on the wrist and also contributes to wearing comfort. Therefore pay close attention to the fit . A watch should of course not be too tight but certainly not too loose. 40 mm watches are considered as medium size. Watches with a case width of 36 to 38 mm are often classic or vintage watches. You also have watched with case sizes of 46 mm or larger, such as diving watches or other striking watch designs. Focus on your feelings.
- Select the correct glass type
Mineral glass
Mineral glass is the most common type of glass among watches. Because the glass is extremely hard, it is difficult to break. The glass, on the other hand, is much less scratch-resistant than, for example, sapphire.
Plastic glass
Plastic glass has the advantage that it is almost unbreakable, so a watch with a plastic glass can certainly take a beating. The material is very affordable, so you can see plastic lenses especially in the cheaper watches. Please note that plastic is made from a soft material that is very sensitive to scratches.
Sapphire glass
Sapphire glass is the strongest, clearest and most durable glass there is. This glass is also known to be very scratch-resistant. Given all the advantages, the price is, therefore, a bit higher than with mineral or plastic glass. Sapphire glass is, therefore, faster with the more exclusive watches.
Mineral glass with a sapphire coating
'Best of both worlds' is what you could call the watch that is equipped with mineral glass with a sapphire coating. This means that your watch is hard to break and scratch-resistant. Something perfect for the pilot. Or if you just want to go for the best quality.
