How to Make a Smart and Reasonable Choice of Watch

Watch is a precision timepiece with high price and long working time. And every owner always cares a lot about the quality of their watches. People always try to pick the best out of the best when buying a watch. But does everyone know how to make a smart and reasonable choice? Quite a few people determine whether a watch is good or not via the ticking sound. But I would tell you, my dear friend, this is not reasonable. A watch’s quality actually depends on its accuracy. The clear and harmony ticking is only a sign of trouble free rather the quality. There are still several procedures needed to get a high-quality watch.

Firstly, check the exterior appearance. We may start from the watchcase, the watch dial and the watch hands. There should not be any flaw and scratch mark on the watchcase, and the edges and corners should be symmetrical. And the glass surface must be transparent and bright. The watch hands should be properly set and there must be enough safe gap among the glass surface, hands and watch dial.

After checking the appearance is to check the accuracy. We can check by these two ways. Firstly, wave the unwound watch to examine the movement of the second hand. If the second hand stops walking within a very short time, it means the watch is of high accuracy. And if the second hand keeps walking for a few moments it means low accuracy or something is wrong. Secondly, slowly wind the unwound watch and observe the movement of the second hand. The less time it takes to start moving, the higher accuracy.

The third step is checking the relative position of the watch hands. We could do this through this way. Check whether a right angle appears when it is 3 or 9 o’clock, whether there’s a straight line at 6 o’clock and whether the minute hand and hour hand match together at 12 o’clock.

The last part should be the winding structure. It should be easy to wind for a regular watch. There should not be any abnormal sound or skid when it’s wound.

All the methods above are also suitable for buying a old watch or repairing. But the criterion should be lowered with consideration.
