watches are also called wristwatches.
is a tool worn on the wrist to keep time. In social situations, wearing a watch usually means a strong sense of time and a rigorous style; People who don't wear watches, or people who often ask others about the time, will always be sneered at, because it shows that their time concept is not strong.
In formal social occasions, watches are often regarded as jewelry, especially for men who only have a ring to wear. Some people even stressed: "Watches are not only men's jewelry, but also the most important jewelry for men."
in western countries, watches, pens and lighters were once called the "three treasures" of adult men, which every man can't leave for a moment. Like jewelry, watches worn by people in social situations often reflect their status, identity and wealth.
Therefore, watches worn by people, especially watches worn by men, attract people's attention. If you want to wear a watch correctly, you must first understand the watch and be good at choosing it.
When choosing a watch, we should always pay attention to five aspects, such as its type, shape, color, pattern and function. (1) Types According to different standards, watches can be divided into many different types.
in social situations, people generally distinguish their categories according to their prices. According to this standard, watches can be divided into four categories: luxury watches, high-grade watches, middle-grade watches and low-grade watches.
in terms of current price, the price of luxury watches is more than 1, yuan, which is high? The meter is between 2 and 1 yuan, the middle-grade meter is between 5 and 2 yuan, and the low-grade meter is below 5 yuan. When choosing a specific type of watch, you should first do what you can, and don't do anything beyond your ability.
In addition, we should also take into account a series of related factors such as personal occupation, appearance occasions, contacts and other clothes we choose at the same time. (2) The shape of a shape watch is often related to its value and grade.
watches worn on formal occasions should be solemn and conservative in styling, and avoid strangeness and fashion. Men, especially venerable people and the elderly, should pay more attention.
watches with novel and fancy shapes are only suitable for girls and children. Generally speaking, watches with round shape, oval shape, square shape, rectangle shape and diamond shape have a wide range of applications, and are especially suitable for wearing on formal occasions.
(3) color selection for watches worn on formal occasions, the color stress ring is complicated and messy. Generally, monochrome watches and two-color watches should be selected, and watches with three or more colors should not be selected. Whether it is a monochrome watch or a two-color watch, its color should be clear, noble and elegant.
gold watches, silver watches and black watches, that is, watches with gold, silver and black dial, case and strap, are the best choices. Watches with golden case, strap and milky white dial can also stand the test of time and will not be outdated in any age.
(4) except for numbers, trademarks, factory names and brands, there is no need for other useless patterns to appear on the watch. It is especially important to keep this in mind when choosing a watch for formal occasions.
if the patterns on the watch are strange and varied, it is not only unfavorable to use, but may make people laugh. (5) Function timekeeping is the most important function of the watch.
Therefore, watches used in formal occasions, whether they are hand-operated, word-skipping or time-telling, should have this function, and should be accurate to the hour and minute, preferably to the second. Watches that are only accurate at that time obviously do not meet the requirements.
Some additional functions, such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, direction, blood pressure, walking speed, etc., are all dispensable, and it is better to do nothing. In a word, the functions of watches should be few and precise, and they should have practical value.
2. What are the common sense of watches?
There are many situations in life that may cause the glass of watches to be damaged. Depending on the degree of damage, there are scratches, cracks, broken corners and complete damage.
if it's just scratches and cracks, it can be used. as for the broken corners and completely damaged ones, the glass of the watch must be replaced. Serious damage to the glass will lead to the unsealing of the watch, thus affecting the waterproof function.
From the material of watch glass, the plastic glass of old watches will not burst, while the mineral watch glass, especially the sapphire watch glass that is popular now, is more prone to burst. Some watches only support waterproof life, and their waterproof performance is not high. If you take these watches that only support waterproof life to swim, it is likely that water will fog up.
In addition, the watch is produced in a dust-free environment, but the inside of the watch is not vacuum but air. That is to say, a large temperature difference may also lead to the fog of the watch, and the temperature of the wearing environment changes rapidly. According to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, it will lead to the fog on the watch surface.
When the temperature is high, the water is in a gaseous state. When the outside air temperature drops, the temperature of the glass sheet on the hand surface is low, and the water vapor liquefies to form small water droplets. There are two main reasons for the dust in the watch except that the back cover of the watch is disassembled at will.
first, you should check whether your watch cover is tight, whether there are cracks due to aging or whether the whole watch case (ring) is loose. Because the watch is not well closed, it usually gets water when it enters the ash.
the second reason is caused by internal wear, because the dust on the dial is not from the outside. 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 will easily enter the movement in the near future. When you find fog on the watch mirror, you should remove the water vapor in time. Generally, you should maintain it once every year or two! For those watches with strong waterproof performance, it usually takes about 3 years to maintain them. Shi Ying movement watches also need maintenance, and it is best to choose to replace the battery after 3 to 4 times.
the reason why the mechanical watch doesn't work is that the battery is dead: the most common reason why Tissot quartz watch doesn't work is that the battery is dead. Solution: Replace it with a new battery.
insufficient power: some friends don't wear watches every day, or wear them for a short time every day, which leads to insufficient power of automatic mechanical watches and watches don't work. Automatic mechanical watches are wound by arm movements. If you don't exercise enough or don't wear them, the watches won't go.
all kinds of brands of automatic mechanical watches are based on this principle. Solution: Wear more, exercise more, and remember to wind when you don't wear it.
3. Watch tips: Watch maintenance tips
For modern people, a watch is not only a tool to tell time, but also a reflection of status. Nowadays, many people will prepare one or more famous watches for themselves, but even the best watch will lose its function if you don't maintain it correctly. Here's how to maintain and maintain the watch.
(1) When wearing a watch, the sweat on your hands is corrosive to the watch case. Because the all-steel watch case is made of nickel-chromium alloy, its corrosion resistance is better. The semi-steel watch case is made of copper, which is easy to corrode after long-term contact with sweat. You should always wipe off the sweat with a soft cloth or pad the plastic watch holder to prevent it from being corroded by sweat. (2) Don't open the back cover of the watch at will, so as to avoid dust entering the movement and affecting the normal work of the watch.
(3) Don't put the watch in the wardrobe with mothballs, so as not to spoil the watch oil. (4) Don't put the watch on the radio or TV to avoid magnetization.
(5) For watches that are not worn for a long time, they should be wound regularly once a month to prevent the parts from being in a static state for a long time, so as to ensure the running performance of the watch machine. Service life of the watch The service life of the watch is related to whether the wearer uses and maintains the watch correctly. For example, wearing the watch for a bath, the appearance of the watch is dirty, the strap length is not suitable, and the use environment is harsh, which will easily lead to the damage of the watch and shorten the service life.
Middle-to-high-end watches should be maintained every two to three years, such as replacing waterproof components, testing the travel performance and movement power consumption, cleaning the movement, and maintaining the appearance, etc. Such maintenance services will effectively extend the service life of your watch. In the national standards, the performance standards of antimagnetic and shockproof are expressed by "residual effect", which refers to the difference between the instantaneous daily difference of the watch before detection and the instantaneous daily difference of the watch after detection.
shockproof: when the watch accidentally falls from a height of 1m to the surface of a horizontal hardwood, the residual effect of the quartz watch shall not exceed 2 seconds, and that of the mechanical watch shall not exceed 6 seconds. Anti-magnetism: When the watch is accidentally exposed to a magnetic field with the intensity of 4,8 A/m, the residual effect of quartz watch is less than 1.5 seconds, that of mechanical men's watch (the movement area is more than 314 square millimeters) is less than 3 seconds, and that of mechanical women's watch is less than 45 seconds.
The secret of watch dehydration is that water accidentally enters the watch case. A granular substance called silica gel can be put in a closed container together with the watch that has accumulated water. After several hours, the watch is taken out and the accumulated water disappears completely. This method is simple and economical, and has no harm to the accuracy and life of the meter.
Silica gel that has been absorbed water for many times can be dried at 12℃ for several hours, and its water absorption capacity is renewable, and it can be used repeatedly. Watchband The watchband is divided into: ceramic band, metal band (tungsten-titanium alloy band, solid steel band, solid copper band, solid powder metallurgy steel band, steel sheet band, steel wire braided band, etc.), belt, nylon braided band, etc.
ceramic watches are not easy to wear, allergic and beautiful. The outer packaging box of the watch should not be thrown away. When you receive a beloved watch, don't throw away the box that protects the watch.
These hard-shell storage boxes for watches can provide the safest protection for watches when they are not worn, and prevent watches from being broken or collided. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to keep the storage boxes, and it is suggested that when watches are not worn on weekdays, it is customary to put them in the boxes, which can greatly reduce the chances of watch damage. If there is dirt on the watch, if the waterproof linked list is dirty, you can gently brush the stain with a soft toothbrush; The waterproof linked list can be washed with neutral detergent mixed with water, and then wiped with soft flannel; Double canvas belt or rubber belt can also be made in the same way, but if dirt has penetrated into the inner layer of the material, it can't be treated with chemical cleaner to avoid deterioration.
Locomotive exhaust gas is easy to cause fading and peeling of gold plating, and air dust, sweat, rain, body dirt, etc. will also stain the watch, especially the gold-plated part of the watch. If it is a leather watch, the belt will be moldy, smell or even broken, so it is best to wipe it lightly with a soft cloth after wearing the watch every time (especially in hot summer). Protection of waterproof watches When you don't wear them usually, try not to let the watch get wet to avoid leather deformation; Placing it near magnetic objects will also affect the accuracy of the watch.
in addition, even waterproof watches should avoid soaking the watch, and as long as the watch has been soaked (unless it is a diving watch), it is best to check it in order to avoid serious damage to the internal movement parts due to time delay. In fact, the waterproof degree of the waterproof meter will change with the hardening of the waterproof ring, so it is necessary to replace the waterproof ring in time.
I believe that you have learned the correct way to maintain your watch through the above-mentioned watch maintenance tips. A watch can reflect your identity, and a watch that is not well maintained will also make you lose face.
4. What should be paid attention to in the use of the watch
Tips for the protection of the watch: 1. Please don't approach the watch and magnetic objects; 2. In case of water inflow (air), it should be immediately sent to the maintenance point for cleaning, so as to avoid corrosion of the movement; 3. If there are protective sheets or labels attached to the back of the watch, please remove them before use, otherwise sweat will penetrate into the backing paper.
causes the back of the watch to rust; 4. Do not touch the watch with various solvents and chemicals, or the watchcase strap will change color and rust due to corrosion; 5. Watches (quartz watches only) can run stably and accurately in the range of 5 C ~ 35 C at room temperature. If the temperature exceeds 5°C, it will lead to battery leakage or shorten battery life. Do not leave the watch in a low temperature (1) ⑴°C environment for a long time, because cold air will slow down or speed up the time. When the watch returns to normal temperature, the operation will return to normal. 6. Watches can be divided into diving watches, waterproof watches and waterproof watches according to their waterproof performance.
The waterproof of watches reaches the corresponding standards by relying on the waterproof aprons in the glass, back cover and handle, and is divided into different levels: (1) SWEAT-RESISTANT: it is easy to understand. Just avoid sweat running into the table; (2)1 WATER-RESISTANT: It doesn't matter if you touch water occasionally.
for example, you accidentally sprayed flowers on your hands. Don't be nervous.
take it off and wipe it clean. Anyway.
is to avoid the occasional small splash in life; (3)3 meters waterproof (3 meters, 3ATM, 3BAR): a watch with the word "3 meters" on it. This is the waterproof watch, which can be used for ordinary grooming or rain.
but the main purpose is to prevent the movement from being damaged by dust and moisture. 3m waterproof. The teaching of professionals is.
It can bear 3 kilograms of pressure per square centimeter, which is equivalent to a water depth of 3 meters and 3 atmospheres at rest. For our ordinary consumers. We just need to remember 3m.
is the most basic and low-level waterproof table; (4) 5M waterproof (5M, 5ATM, 5BAR): A watch with the word "5m" on it, that is, a 5m waterproof watch, is a real waterproof watch in the eyes of consumers. Watch that can be used for swimming and household chores.
remember not to adjust the watch handle in the water; (5) Diving watch (1 meters waterproof, 2 meters waterproof, 3 meters waterproof, etc.): It is a professional waterproof watch and can be used for underwater work such as swimming and diving. Friendly tips: 1. Any waterproof watch should not be brought into contact with hot water and steam (such as hot bath and sauna); 2, as far as possible to avoid using in the environment with great temperature changes, temperature difference will make the water in the air in the table condense, which will lead to water inflow and water mist condensation in the table.
if there is fog in the watch. Please go to the professional watch maintenance department for cleaning and maintenance as soon as possible; 3. Watches are precision instruments after all.
please use it carefully. Good habits can make your watch life longer, while bad habits can shorten it.
