Wrist quartz watch

Quartz watches are a real classic that both men and women can use to decorate their bows. You will learn about the features of these jewelry from this article.

The very first watches of this type were produced in the middle of the last century. Then such an accessory was offered by Hamilton. Since 1957, GOST, according to which such watches are created, has changed dramatically.

Later, in 1978, a practical watch appeared that could be used not only for its intended purpose, but also for calculation. This more modern model was equipped with a miniature calculation mechanism. The keys of such watches had to be pressed with the tip of a ballpoint pen, because they are very small.

Mechanics have been popular for a long time and were considered a fashionable attribute, in demand in both women's and men's looks. Initially, they were worn only in the West, but then the fashion for comfortable quartz watches migrated to the East of Europe. So watches with a quartz movement appeared in the USSR.

This product experienced a decline in popularity in the sixties of the last century. Then the level of their sales in Switzerland fell by almost half. They managed to restore a high level of sales only after two decades.Today, many prestigious brands use quartz movements to create their watches. And Switzerland is again considered the leader in sales and at the same time the country producing one of the highest quality watches.

If you do not know what "quartz movement" means and what this type of watch is, then this information will help you understand it a little better. When creating such watch movements, a quartz crystal is used. On the one hand, this is good, because due to this, the watch is quite cheap. But over time, quartz crystals wear out, so the watch starts to fall behind. So such a short service life stops many from buying.

But this is not a judgment at all. The device can be periodically carried to the workshop, where they will be adjusted for you. Of course, this is not very convenient, but still the clock does not have to be thrown into the trash immediately after you notice that it began to show the wrong time.

Quartz watches have a fairly simple and understandable device. They consist of a power source (it can be an ordinary battery or any element recharged if necessary), a generator with a convenient and inexpensive quartz resonator, gears with arrows and wheels that regulate all this. Also, some watches can be supplemented with a built-in alarm clock, respectively, with a wheel that helps to set it up.

As in the case with other watches, there is a conditional division into women's and men's watch models.

Models with a quartz movement are presented today in large numbers.Some manufacturers rely on a stylish appearance, others - on modernity and high quality.

If you are fond of tourism, often go to nature, hunting or fishing, then you have waterproof and shockproof models.

And if you travel often, buy a model with double time. This will allow you not to constantly translate the arrows depending on the time zone in which you are.

Most often, it is men who buy massive accessories with a quartz movement. On a wide male wrist, such an accessory looks quite stylish, especially if it is a piece of jewelry with a massive dial, which is made with emphasis on quality.

But for girls they create more accurate models with thin straps. This will be especially true for ladies with thin wrists.

Now there are a huge number of high-quality and not very high-quality accessories on the market, so from all this variety you need to be able to choose the highest quality things so that the money is not wasted.

About the brand Rolex You must have heard too. This brand is a symbol of true quality.Therefore, if you can afford to buy expensive watches, then this brand is worth paying attention to. In case of shortage of money, you can always buy used watches. Restoring an accessory will not cost you as much as buying a new one.

Cheaper alternative - Japanese Seiko. Unlike Chinese counterparts, they do not disappoint buyers.

Do not lag behind in the production of high-quality watches with a quartz movement and domestic manufacturers. The best are still considered jewelry from the brand "Sputnik", which appeared in the days of the USSR. Of the modern brands, the Avon brand offers interesting models for girls.

Giorgio Armani, a well-known manufacturer of high-quality cosmetics, clothes and accessories, also offers quartz watches to connoisseurs of haute couture. Accessories differ, first of all, in a stylish appearance. They will emphasize your status and will be perfectly combined with stylish plain shirts and business suits.

Cheaper alternatives to Armani jewelry can be found at Skeleton, Tissot, Zaritron, Minrui, Romanson, Daytona, Orient.

Depending on what budget you have, you can choose accessories that will be affordable for you. The cheapest options are offered by modern manufacturers from the mass market. Better models can be found among Japanese and German brands. And the most expensive, of course, offers Switzerland with all its many brands.In addition, you can ask collectors for old models. Such watches will cost you more, but you will become the owner of real antiques.

It is almost impossible to determine whether a copy is in front of you or the original at first glance, especially if you are faced with buying a watch for the first time. Rogues are often very skillful and when creating a copy, they repeat the shape of the watch, the logo, and some small recognizable details.

However, it is quite difficult to fully cope with this task. Therefore, you may still notice some ridiculous errors. For example, a mistake in the spelling of the brand name, a poor-quality logo, or a poor finish on the strap and base of the dial

It is also quite obvious that if the price of an accessory is noticeably lower than that of other sellers, then the product is unlikely to be of high quality. The exception is used goods.

When using a watch, its owner has many questions - from whether it is necessary to wind your new watch manually to why it lags behind in time. If you encounter any problem, it is best to take your jewelry in for repair. In the workshop they will be repaired quickly enough. But at the same time, they will take money from you both for repairs and for the parts that will be needed for this.

But if the watch just lags behind or stops, then you will have to re-adjust it. It will take some time. And sellers of quality jewelry, as a rule, give a guarantee on them, providing long-term service and repair.

But in some cases, you can fix the problem yourself, especially if your watch needs a simple battery change. Also, after a long service life, the chip may break. It is she who is responsible for issuing impulses to the electromagnet. Therefore, if it breaks, the arrows stop. It is not difficult to replace this part, but it is quite difficult to find it on sale.

But if you do not have any experience in repairing watches, then you still should not disassemble the accessory yourself - entrust this issue to professionals.

Quartz movements receive mixed reviews from users. Someone complains that they are not accurate enough, while someone, on the contrary, claims that such watches are the best.

Watches with a quartz movement appeared on the market only thirty years ago, so it is not yet possible to check how long they can last. But the good clocks of those times still work. Therefore, you can safely buy such an accessory without fear that it will not last you even a couple of years.

A quality watch with a quartz movement can be a great gift for someone who is truly important to you. And if you wish, then the back wall of the watch can be decorated with a spectacular engraving.In this case, the watch will delight even more.
