“All that really belongs to us is time; even he who has nothing else has that.� - Baltasar Gracian
1. ANALOG WATCHES The good old mechanical watches
MECHANICAL WATCHES » » » »
Oldest construct among watches. Does not run on electronics and batteries! Powered by a mainspring. Need to be manually wound periodically.
AUTOMATIC WATCHES » “Improved version” of mechanical watches. » Automatically winds the mainspring. » Uses weighted gears to use the wearer’s movements to wind the spring.
QUARTZ WATCHES » Uses a quartz crystal to keep time. » When electricity is passed through quartz, it vibrates at constant pace. » Vibration is used to drive the watch accurately. » Battery needs to be changed periodically.
2. DIGITAL WATCHES “Electronics only” watches
LED WATCHES » LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. » Simply put, a small super bright lightbulb. » Cool & futuristic looking.
SMART WATCHES » Who does not know smart watches? » The smaller brother of smart phones. » Not capable enough to be used like a “full sized” digital office yet.
