Watches

Whether you need a wristwatch or pocket watch, first decide whether you want a battery-powered quartz watch or a mechanical watch that requires winding. 

The most common type of watches are quartz, which offer accuracy and stability.  Quartz watches do not require winding and you only need to replace the battery once every one or two years. Quartz watch faces also come in several styles: analog, digital, and anidigi.

Mechanical watches show off traditional craftsmanship and usually cost a little more than their quartz counterparts because they demonstrate the skill and cost of labor required to build a complex and valuable timepiece.  Due to the way their inner workings operate, they can lose up to several minutes a month.  Mechanical watches come in automatic or manual form.

Watch styles and trends like the multi-faceted chronograph offer alternatives to the classic styles. The sport watch genre with its advanced technological features like the oxygen alarm found in Citizen's dive watches has made people take notice. For those with impeccable taste, the classic diamond watches or gold watches are always in fashion and virtually every watch manufacturer produces several varieties of watches that never seem to go out of demand.
