At present, mechanical watches are decorations, luxury goods and works of art, and their accuracy cannot be compared with electronic watches. There is a saying that "the most important thing for a watch is to look at the time", and the functional definition of a watch has already changed. A good mechanical watch, if properly maintained, has a service life of at least one hundred years or even longer, enough for several generations. Buying mechanical watches is more obsessed with the charm of machinery, the embodiment of identity and the recognition of brand culture. Like a woman's bag, a mechanical watch is a symbol of a man's identity, and it is no problem to wear it every day on formal occasions.
Quartz watches are light and accurate, and they get rid of the complicated winding, and they will not stop when they are not worn. It is more suitable for people who are troublesome and generally wear it for a short time.
If you like outdoor sports and travel, Casio is definitely the best for you, such as battery life, accuracy, GPS, guide, six-station radio time correction, waterproof and so on. ...
Smart watches are fashionable, cool, multifunctional and convenient, but they rely more on mobile phones, and their battery life is also a disadvantage. They are suitable for young people who love to toss, and are more suitable for everyday casual wear.
I personally like mechanical watches, which represent the original power.
The top ten watches in the world, do you know who is the first? If you want to show off in the lowest-key way, you must watch it! ! ! There is no Lu here, and there is no Lu. Hurry up and collect!

The significance of mentioning Patek Philippe is not because of its high price, but because it is a symbol of status and status.
In addition to artistic design, the watch itself also uses very expensive materials, so it is also of great artistic collection value.
Although the watches mentioned above are famous, each one is famous in the watch industry, and any one is valuable.
So what maintenance do we need to do to wear watches?
1
Mirror maintenance
Generally speaking, if a watch is worn for a long time, it will inevitably produce some scratches, or if you want to pursue a higher watch texture and want to "upgrade" the watch, you can choose to change the mirror surface of the watch.
After replacing the mirror surface, even the wear-resistant sapphire crystal glass should be careful not to let the mirror surface of the watch collide and scratch sharp objects to avoid damaging the watch. You should also check your watch band regularly to see if there is any problem, so as not to damage the watch when it falls.
2
Watch case maintenance
When wearing a watch, the sweat on your hands is corrosive to the watch case. All-steel case has better corrosion resistance because it is nickel-chromium alloy, and semi-steel case is copper, which is easy to corrode when exposed to sweat for a long time. Therefore, we should always wipe off sweat with a soft cloth or pad a plastic watch stand to prevent it from being eroded by sweat.
three
Watch band maintenance
Leather strap is famous for its comfortable style, elegance and fashion, especially in cold winter, wearing leather watch is very comfortable.
It is best to have more than two leather straps in winter, which can be replaced, and can also avoid the problems of hardening and volatile smell caused by wearing the same strap for a long time.
Metal strap has the same disadvantage as leather watch, that is, it is afraid of water, because water vapor will cause oxidation of metal strap.
If you want to clean it at ordinary times, remember to remove the strap and clean it separately, clean it with some professional cleaning agents, then clean it with clear water, wipe it with a dry cloth and blow dry it with a hair dryer.
four
routine maintenance
When doing maintenance for the movement watch. There is a high requirement for the tightness of the watch case. If your watch is not waterproof, impurities such as dust and water vapor can easily enter the movement. When there is fog on the mirror surface of the watch, it is necessary to remove the water vapor in time, usually once a year or two.
If it is those watches with strong waterproof performance, the maintenance usually takes about 3 years;
Timely movement watches also need maintenance, and it is best to replace the battery after 3 to 4 times.
five
Waterproof maintenance
Most watches are marked waterproof for 30 meters or 50 meters, but that doesn't mean it's okay to put your watch in a water depth of 30 meters or 50 meters.
In the Swiss watch dictionary, 30 meters and 50 meters only represent waterproof life, so try not to get your watch wet. Only those watches marked 100 meter can be said to be waterproof.
six
Anti-magnetic maintenance
Many electrical appliances in life have certain magnetism, so do mobile phones and computers. Although it will not cause substantial damage to the watch itself, it will affect the accuracy of the watch to a certain extent.
Also be careful not to put it around these magnetic instruments at will. If you accidentally magnetize your watch, it will usually make it go faster. At this time, you should go to a professional maintenance point for maintenance.
seven
Wash oil maintenance
If we use the watch for a long time, the oil in the movement will dry up, which will easily form sticky grease and affect the operation of the whole movement. At this time, it is necessary to "wash the oil" for the watch.
"Washing oil" is a kung fu activity, and it still needs a professional master to do it.
eight
Watch maintenance
It's best to wind the watch regularly every day. Don't adjust the date between 9: 00 pm and 3: 00 am, so as not to damage the mechanical system of the watch, because the movement gear system may be running at this time to change the date.
Watches that you don't wear for a long time should be wound once a month. If it is automatic, it needs to be worn once to ensure that it can be shaken and wound.
This can ensure that the internal parts of the watch will not be in a static state for a long time and ensure good performance. Don't fill it all at once every time you wind it, just score 9 points to avoid the spring breaking because it is too close.
It is estimated that many people will be confused when they see this problem. Aren't they all the same?
Mechanical watches and quartz watches should be familiar to everyone. What about electronic watches and smart watches? Accurately speaking, quartz watches and smart watches are both a classification of electronic watches, except that quartz watches rely on timely movement and external mechanical parts, while smart watches are the product of the times, which will generate electricity regardless of the energy of rechargeable batteries.
Mechanical watches are very simple. One is to wind the watch movement by rotating the crown with a string, and store the kinetic energy in the clockwork device. When a mechanical watch moves, it will be converted into kinetic energy. Another kind of automatic winding is to store the kinetic energy generated by the swing of the watch in the clockwork, and drive the clockwork inside the watch to wind the watch and push it away.
Because of gravity, parts wear and other reasons, the error will be much larger than that of electronic watches and quartz watches. And most of them are mechanical structures, so the price is much more expensive than that.
The basic part of electronic watch is composed of electronic components, and its working principle is designed according to the physical phenomenon of "electricity generates magnetism, and magnetism generates electricity". That is, electric energy is converted into magnetic energy, and then magnetic energy is converted into mechanical energy to drive the hour hand and minute hand to run, thus achieving the purpose of timing; Transistor balance table: it is a system with dry battery as energy source, transistor as switch and hairspring as oscillation.
Which is better, a mechanical watch, a quartz watch, an electronic watch or a smart watch?
It can only be said that people who wear mechanical watches are older, and most of them are enterprising men, because a mechanical watch is a good ornament and extra points! Quartz watches and electronic watches are mostly young people with low prices. Smart watches are spread all over the ages, especially a watch with the function of "sports assistant", which can measure some health conditions such as exercise rate and heart rate for people.
