We’ve been spectators of the resurgence and exhaustion of fashion trends, accessorising is one of the countless categories. We’ve even scratched our heads in confusion upon the emergence of so-called new trends that when laid bare are just old ones that are regurgitated and labelled anew. But a fashion trend that still remains cemented across fashion eras, aesthetics and styles is a good old watch.
It’s the utter functionality of it that still keeps us tethered to the need to fasten our wrists with fashionable timepieces. But if you’re looking to refine your watch-wearing sensibilities, then you must strike a balance between performance and style. Performance is determined by how smooth and accurate the watch’s movements and functions are. There are different types of watch functions, the most common ones being quartz, automatic, digital, and smart. Here’s a simple breakdown of the three:
Quartz: It’s a type of analog watch that’s mostly powered by a battery. It has a minute and second hand. A very common determining factor is the “tick, tick, tick” motion of the second hand. These tend to be more affordable ones.
Digital watch: This is the watch that we all wore as kids while we were learning to tell time on a traditional analog clock. Digital watches, as the name suggests, tell us the precise time using digits.
Automatic watch: Automatic or “self-winding” watches tend to be higher on the scale in terms of price and maintenance. Unlike its battery-powered quartz counterpart, automatic watches run on kinetic energy that’s harnessed from the movements of your wrist. The inner working consists of a mainspring and rotor. In simple terms, the mainspring negates the need to hand-wind the watch to keep ticking. Your hand movement is enough to wind the mainspring. The rotor acts as additional weight which uses the momentum of the wrist movements to wind the mainspring through the day. The only con is that, if not worn for a long time, you may have to end up manually resetting it.
The second tier of this ultimate guide relies on some of the best homegrown brands that pool the prowess of functionality, style and craftsmanship into a matchless watch. Enter, Fastrack.
