How to choose the right watch? I believe this is one of the problems many newcomers are confused. In order to buy some common sense and advice for everyone watch, we will use three different levels of articles to explain. I hope Xiaobian translation can help you understand the watch you want to buy and guide you to make buying decisions. More often we talk about what people should buy what table or what kind of watch is the best, and so on, but the watch brands and styles are numerous, Wan Watch World here want to show you how to choose the right within your budget of. Because it is entry-level knowledge, we do not discuss here three questions, calendar and other complex functions. This section we are mainly talking about "entry-level luxury" watches, priced at 300 US dollars (not capped), the follow-up article we will discuss the price of 1000 US dollars and above, and finally we will show the price of more than 20,000 US dollars , The latter's price range at 20 000 -20 million level. $ 300 (including more than $ 300) watches: It may be that the price range is wider for watch selections, and for some people a huge amount of $ 300 may be insignificant to others. If you belong to the former, the following content will be helpful to you. 1, sapphire lenses Sapphire lenses are embedded in the watch case, in order to protect the dial of a transparent crystal. Most of the watches are used in this lens, synthesized by the mineral glass, wear anti-scratch. The better the quality of the watch, the less likely it is to crack the watch. 2, solid metal shell After you get a watch, look carefully and you will find that some inexpensive watches are of poor quality steel. Common Swiss watches are generally used 316 steel, some 912 steel used, while the popular Rolex used 904 steel. In addition, the case and bracelet should be solid metal sheet at the junction, rather than other common materials, such as plastic or other. 3, the Swiss movement or the Japanese movement (Japan table) Switzerland is the origin of high-quality watch movement, Japan is also strong in this regard. But there is a certain difference between the two. Most of the Swiss watch movements from the ETA, quartz movement from Ronda (Ronda). Japan's quartz movement performance is better, usually from manufacturers, such as Seiko, Citizen, Casio. These countries are not specifically made movement, they want to try some other areas. If a watch is not Japanese, then it is mostly Swiss movement. Japanese watches with Japanese movement have the best quality, but there are quite a few other brands around Japan with Japanese movement. Finally, there is a suggestion, even if there are enough mechanical movement to choose from, do not be too mechanical pursuit of the movement, quartz movement is good. 4, watch parts are solid Get a watch, first from the overall perception of whether it is solid. Of course, you also need careful examination, including watch strap and wrist fit, the best band can shrink the room. Wear a watch to see if the watch buckle is easy to use. If it is a watch with a rotating ring, it is best to twist it. Be careful not to appear fade metal bracelet, at the same time, listen to watch the sound, do not appear excess noise. 5, watch design In general, there are two types of people who design watches, one is a watch designer (watch maker), and one is a designer from another industry. The best watches use the most basic watch design principles, the pursuit of value function and form design. At present, many fashion watches look good, but the design is not satisfactory, some watches and even the wrong mark on the dial. Watch is a tool used to decorate it, so when choosing the size of the dial should also pay attention to and wrist size. 6, clasp Often, cheaper watches use metal bracelets and single-lock clasps that snap directly into the bracelet. Good watches are used double or triple lock (folding buckle). 7, weight The concept is vague, because some people like to watch a little heavier, while others prefer lighter ones. The new material is new titanium lighter than steel, but at this price it is most likely not high-quality titanium. This price, you can only find a general steel material. The heavier means that the use of high quality steel and the watch structure is strong, so feel the weight of the following table is also one of the ways to prove the investment of the watch is reasonable. 8, signature or logo Good watch is very careful in the details of the design of each watch have been sophisticated. Many watches have brand signature prints that can be found in four places on the watch: bottom cover, crown, clasp or strap. "Signature" can be different ways, but at this price level should be used is light laser engraving. High-priced watches have logo and graphic engraving. Cheap watches are generally displayed at the crown, so you can be clearer, but no unique style. 9, luminous instructions Not all watches have luminous indication, but almost all of the sports watch will have. Luminous coatings vary widely in quality, with early use of radiopharmaceuticals to create luminescent coatings, but are now replaced by tritium due to the danger posed by the radiological properties of radium salts. More recently, it has been replaced by super-luminous coatings that are non-oxidizing and non-radioactive. 10, uniform pricing Need to consider pricing consistent when buying watches, because many watch retailers have shown the price of the price range. The retail price is just a limitation, even though authorized retailers say they've given you a discount. Some watches discount only a little or none, but the vast majority of watches, especially in the price range of the retail price will be relatively lower. For example, the watch retails for $ 500 and most retailers sell for $ 400. When buying, make sure to shop around, spend $ 400 instead of $ 450. What we mean by uniform pricing is that the price does not change much. (Compile / Wan watch world Fuxue Ting)
