Wrist waterproof and shockproof watches

In Soviet times, when they did not yet know about mobile phones, having bought watches made in China on the market, which are supposedly moisture resistant, one could easily be convinced of the opposite by simply entering the river. Another thing is modern chronometers. In the face of fierce competition in the form of mobile phone companies, watchmakers can no longer afford to issue defectives. And if today you have purchased a model declared as a diving one, you can be sure that this is exactly what it is.

Today, watches are not as necessary as they used to be - you can also check the time on your mobile phone. Now this accessory has turned into a rare decoration (sometimes this is an indicator of the owner's high income). Not everyone has a watch today, and therefore they, including diving ones, can be presented to a friend, colleague or relative. Although it’s better to give a diving watch to someone who will really find it useful:

1. shockproof and waterproof model you can safely give it to a diver - it’s not for nothing that the model was named after the people of this profession;
2. they will also be a necessary thing for an athlete, who spends most of his time in the gym and in the swimming section (such watches in the store are marked "WR");
3. useful for athletes who often fall (footballers, cyclists);
4. such an accessory will be an excellent gift for a fisherman, especially to those who are fond of underwater fishing for catfish;
5. such a gift will be useful and for the scuba diver.

If a diving watch is labeled “5 atmospheres”, it means that they are designed for a pool or a river. Of course, they are also suitable for taking a shower after a workout - you will not need to take them off / put them on and worry about water not getting inside.

The “10 atmospheres” label is suitable for divers, and they can stay in the water for quite a long time.

"20 atmospheres" is put on professional watches, they are used by divers, going to depth to underwater reefs or visiting sharks.

We need such an accessory when performing underwater work, for example, to repair an underwater highway.

These watches differ in the material from which they are made. Someone likes a polymer case, someone likes titanium products, an electronic dial or mechanics with arrows (there are also mixed models). There are watches with a calendar, with a stopwatch, with a compass... There is something to choose from, and everyone decides for himself - the severity of the classic style or a bright orange model.

Shockproof watches include those watch models whose mechanism is able to withstand impact forces on the case, from which neither the appearance of the product nor its precise operation will be affected.

It may seem to some of the users that when labeled as “shockproof”, this indicates the resistance of the watch to any load associated with a fall, shock or strong pressure. This is not the case at all, because shockproof watches are those that meet some international standard values.

How much this or that model corresponds to them is checked empirically - it looks like a strike on the watch case with a calculated force of 5 kJ.

The watch is considered to have passed the test if the following requirements are met:

After a blow to the body, they continue to function normally;

· if, after hitting a quartz watch, their accuracy error per day did not exceed two seconds. With regards to other types of watches, this value is allowed in the amount of 60 seconds per day;

· if the fall of the product did not lead to such consequences as serious cosmetic damage or displacement of one or more elements.

When summer holidays are on the way, which means the sea, games in the pools and just the most active time in the life of the children, the presence of such hours in the child will be very appropriate.

Models that are not afraid of either water or shock are attached to the child's wrist with a rubber strap. It is very comfortable to wear - it will not rub the skin, will not cause allergies and will securely hold the accessory on your hand. A children's shockproof and waterproof device is, as a rule, a multifunctional product, the design of which is distinguished by brightness and originality.

This children's product is divided into two categories - for girls and for boys. They differ in design and finish. For children, usually products are made in more restrained shades or have camouflage colors, geometric prints, or an animal pattern. And for girls, as always, bright colors, butterflies, fairies, stars, etc. prevail.

Waterproof watches are sold in the watch store, and there are many offers in online stores. Sports stores also sell these products. By the way, there you will be most intelligibly able to explain which model should be chosen in a particular case.

So, the seller may insist on buying not just a waterproof watch, but that it must also be shockproof if you are going to conquer the depths of the seas. And this is not a desire to rip off more money from you, but a necessity, otherwise another model may not withstand high water pressure and fail.

It is clear that the clock has a mechanism that counts the time. But this is a modern accessory, which means that it certainly could not have done without an impressive amount of electronics. In a diver's watch, it will be represented by a mini-computer that will measure how deep the dive occurred, what the diver's pulse and pressure, water temperature, and more.

Manufacturers also took care of the backlight - after all, the sun's rays practically do not reach the bottom of the ocean. If you are an advanced diver and you are not indifferent to the time of the ebb and flow, the watch will also show you the moon phases.On land, do not rush to remove this watch as unnecessary - lie down to rest, and the built-in alarm clock will wake you up for the next dives.

Let's say you were lucky enough to buy a Casio diver's watch. The manufacturer declares the rule by which this accessory was created. This rule is called "three tens" and means that:

1. the clock will survive the fall from a ten-meter height;
2. will work great at a depth of 100 meters (10 atmospheres);
3. battery charge hours last for 10 years.

The model will survive, today's manufacturers have repeatedly proved the viability of their promises. But you may not calculate your strength, so it's better not to take risks unnecessarily.

The self-winding diving watch model will make you a very punctual person. The fact is that this company is a world famous brand that produces chronographs, diverse in functionality and design, but always extremely accurate and reliable.

It can be called a classic waterproof and shockproof watch. A man may well not part with such an accessory at all - they will be in place both during working hours, and on a hike, and in his workshop. The restraint and conciseness of the design emphasizes the masculine character of the accessory and speaks of the good taste of its owner. The commander's watch is fitted with a natural leather belt.

It has long been known that Vostok's watch products are always accurate and reliable, the waterproof case is unaffected by blows, and the glass, for which minerals are used, never gets scratched.

Russians got acquainted with this German product not so long ago, but many consumers have already managed to appreciate it.

In their manufacture, high-tech materials and production mechanisms of eminent companies were used. At the same time, the pricing approach turned out to be very reasonable, so this product was able to quickly compete successfully with brands with a long-deserved reputation.

The watches in this collection are made of titanium, and this, as you know, is a material stronger than steel, but lighter than it, which is very important for constant wear. It is also important that allergies to this material never occur.

This model of waterproof and shockproof watches has long been known as a watch with a sense of style and taste, which can give a person confidence and make him elegant. They are suitable for everyone without exception and look great both on a fragile female handle and on a wide male wrist. Each of the collections takes into account not only new fashion trends and preferences, but also its own rich experience.

The creators of these watches did not have a choice with which it is better to work - with complex technologies or with expensive materials. They did not compromise, but presented their customer with a product that was obtained using both of these possibilities. Such an attitude towards the manufactured goods provides him with the fame of an ideal time meter that can satisfy the needs of the most demanding customers.

Such models, for which neither moisture nor shocks are terrible, are produced by many manufacturers, but it is Casio that has the largest line. Light from any source is suitable for recharging Casio solar-powered watches, even if it is reflected or scattered. It turns out that charging never stops, and it is not at all necessary to look for a bright sun for this.

Choose a watch according to the functions that you need.
