How to Choose the Watch Store

Watches Review Center Report: How to buy the watch? In fact, this is sometimes even relatively senior watch fans confused the issue, as the economy, aesthetic awareness, brand concept, consumption levels and changes in taste, fans of each watch will have their choice more or less doubt. Based on the above considerations, the watch summarizes the many lessons lost friends, bought a new watch provides the basic selection method, here, we only make some brief, but still feel fear, after all, misleading the suspect. If the idea of consistent and watch fans allowed to be proved, it is the best, if inconsistent with the idea of watch fans, it really is to correct me a lot of readers.


For starters, choose the correct watch is a guarantee of their own shop. Although some pathways may get a lower discount, but the risk also will be bigger, after all, for the novice, reliable seller is the only desirable way.
  
I. watch shops the size of: the watch should be selected old shop, has a good reputation, and have a certain scale. This can ensure more choice of brands and styles, watchs, bigger stores, the greater the scope of natural selection, the most important thing is do not worry about the watch that the store will close down and affect the service.
  
II. watch store location: should try to choose a local watch shop. And selected models from the point of sale in the local watch more convenient to buy. A friend told me that he often went to the watch shop and the sale of watch talk, Miss, and finally to a staggering discount actually won a section they like to say that this is a buy a watch from the local advantage.
  
III. watch store sale: large formal watch usually has a professional repair shop maintenance and after-sales service. After-sales service includes a warranty and service outside the warranty period. And formal shops in the service watch has a price tag in the content for different brands have different specifications of price maintenance projects to avoid some unnecessary suspicion. Meanwhile, for the maintenance of the master also has a certain standard, need to have some professional examination certification, maintenance, professional quality master watch repair also determines whether the quality service and quality.

IV. watch store sale: Here is the watch that stores pre-sales staff of professional quality. Staff will watch a good watch is recommended for consumers and can help consumers control the budget. Of course, as the watch fans have a higher demand, such as the attitude of staff and introduction of watches, the brand's degree of specialization, though not ask staff to achieve a level of watches critics, but at least it can guide buyers provide reference information.

V. Store: the most reliable service more professional, some independent brand stores. There are different levels of stores, the best option to open the store directly by the company, agency nature of the less. From pre-sales to after-sales, stores all have certain advantages, it can be considered in selected brand to the store to buy after the style of the.
  
watch stores is a way of selling entities, in addition to watchs store the virtual network, the network watch stores the different channels, the price relative to physical watch stores have certain advantages. But also because the domestic network management is still not perfect, so there are certain risks and therefore need to online transactions must carefully select the credibility and quality are guaranteed website.

Selection of Brand Watch

Watches Review Center Report: How to buy the watch? In fact, this is sometimes even relatively senior watch fans confused the issue, as the economy, aesthetic awareness, brand concepts, changes in consumption level and class, each watch will have their choice of fans more or less doubt. Based on the above considerations, the watch summarizes the many lessons lost friends, bought a new watch provides the basic selection method, here, we only make some brief, but still feel fear, after all, misleading the suspect. If the idea of consistent and watch fans allowed to be proved, it is the best, if inconsistent with the idea of watch fans, it really is to correct me a lot of readers.


Brand choice


Whether novice or watch fans, the choice of the same brand would be hesitant. Too many good brands in the world, the temptation is too much, if determined to buy a watch, the watch must be determined before buying the brand you need. In the brand should consider the following factors:


First, Brand Awareness: As a novice, is probably the most basic reference or to learn according to their own familiar brand. Typically, the watch that is well-known watch, based on experience, I believe that the quality is generally not inferior watches. However, as a novice can not blindly listen to rumors, there are many of my friends go to Hong Kong in recent years to buy a counterfeit watch when, such as VALSTAR, ROSDENTON and other brands to be salesmen touted of stories, in fact, made in China Hong Kong installed. I suggest buying the watch before the novice, you can go look at the professional shop in a large watch to obtain information, get some information on the watch brand, it is very important. Traditional brand, with the progress of the times constantly changing, although some European brands of the same original name, in fact, the production has been assembled in Asia, from the technology and quality has been lagging behind the European origin brand, it is recommended that the first of some well-known brands to understand Houzai dig pocket after all, a rational consumer.


Second, Brand quality: no matter where someone will be to determine the value of brand differentiation grade. watch fans on past experience a lot of the seventies is the ranking of domestic clocks to determine brand positioning, and in that time is still relatively scientific. However, when the level of classification for domestic consumption has considerable limitations, such as the now world-renowned luxury brand PATEK PHILIPPE, VACHERON CONSTANTIN, AUDEMARS PIGUET and so did not included in the rankings. Therefore, the original position itself is not reliable way through the ranks to select a brand is not very scientific, can only be used as the basis for reference, it is recommended that novices do before buying a watch ranking the blind pursuit of unwarranted.


Sometimes, the so-called grade is entirely based on the brand to the targeted price level, this is perhaps the market needs, of course, the watch can be used as the basis for the watch to buy one of the fans.


In addition, the entry is not necessarily high-end watch brand to be higher than the mid-range brand of high-end models, which take time to look at data and comparing to understand.


Third, Brand Series: The selected brands, novice occasionally on a wide variety of different series has been confused. The choice is not difficult, some of each brand would have set a series of different grades for the different needs of consumers. If TISSOT is higher than the entry Ballade series to Seastar series, Po Nga series is Tissot's flagship series, the starfish is the entry-series; such as ROLEX and YACHT-MASTER Series Of course, higher than the Air King series. Of course, some brands of series is not entirely classified the level of quality watches, but more than just a style choice.


Many friends often ask how a brand? The choice of which brand is more upscale these more appropriate? Difficult to answer this question, a series of high-end brands are not all uniform horizontal line. I remember a very wonderful old saying --- "I would rather be beheaded, not vote for Pteris" I believe in the choice of brand, think of this sentence, it might be enlightening.

How to Choose A Good Watch

Watches Review Center Report: How to buy the watch? In fact, this is sometimes even relatively senior watch fans confused the issue, as the economy, aesthetic awareness, brand concept, consumption levels and changes in taste, fans of each watch will have their choice more or less doubt. Based on the above considerations, the watch summarizes the many lessons lost friends, bought a new watch provides the basic selection method, here, we only make some brief, but still feel fear, after all, misleading the suspect. If the idea of consistent and watch fans allowed to be proved, it is the best, if inconsistent with the idea of watch fans, it really is to correct me a lot of readers.


Select price

Economic base can not be separated any choice. No money, all options will become unnecessary obscenity. So, how's the price for you?

First: Principles: always stressed the watch to do what to buy. Watch long ago seen the famous critic, Mr. Zhu Lei's article on how to buy the watch, referring to a principle --- to two months salary to buy a watch as a benchmark. I believe this principle is very useful for working-class, without affecting the daily life, and in line with the identity of the wearer. Of course, this principle does not apply to all people, for the fanatical pursuit of the perfect watch fans, two months salary? Not enough!

Second: Location: even watch fans, we usually take into account the cost of the problem. The more expensive watchs, lower cost, because the same thing is to look at the time, why sell an expensive? Talking about here is relatively cost-effective, based on comprehensive consideration, to a certain price range to choose the most appropriate brand and style. watch fans can look forward to see how much the price range I recommend what brand what style, but unfortunately I worry about partial and biased towards their favorite brands and styles, too subjective, no matter whether or not to write.
Good watch, one point is definitely the price is substantial. Do not expect bargains, watch the process, quality, quality, value, and ultimately are reflected in the price of. According to their economic capacity, choose the right brand and watch, can not afford to buy a watch, it is recommended to appreciate the main only.

Feature selection

Different functions and styles, where the function refers to the movement to the complexity of the classification, are generally divided into: simple models, complex models two categories. Simply display the time or money just to increase up to the function of the calendar week, and a wide range of complex models, the significance of the actual use is not large, generally this novice, feature selection will not be much of a problem. Here only two common issues for a simple prompt.
  
First. Manual or automatic?
Sometimes the novice will be confused to buy a watch in the manual section on the mechanical and automatic selection of models. In my opinion, if only for practical, more appropriate then select Automatic watch. Manual watch for watch fans, watch fans as more willing to take the time to enjoy the kind of feeling on the bar, watch fans, that moment is a treasure.
  
Second. Quartz or mechanical?
If only for the purpose of accurate and practical to buy watchs, quartz watch is the best choice. For an iron watch fans, no matter from which side we would all choose mechanical watches, mechanical watches, after all, the charm of a generation after generation, not here for a long article.

watch five operating structure

Watches Review Center Report: according to the different power sources can be divided into mechanical (and into the hands of the list with automatic lists), quartz watches, automatic quartz watch, solar watch and the hands of the newly invented quartz watch chain, and so on, because the structure of the different, different characteristics, but also in the use of a different note, this overview will provide you one by one.

First, Automatic mechanical watches:

Refers to use of barrel storage powered watches. The beginning of all the power to send forces from the spring to tighten the fan in the second car, San Francisco, four-car fan, car fan V (escape wheel), then the balance wheel clamp, and then swing round reaction to the messenger, so that Prior to the location of their recovery, so that the process will make the whole operation cycle, continue to produce power. Mechanical hands can be divided into two kinds of chain and automatic chain.

A. hand list: leading by staff rotation, drive on the chain system in order to stimulate wound on the full chain.

Note: for the first time in my first time on a chain to the full chain on their own, should look at laps, then went the same way according to at least 8,9 points to, not on the chain too, to avoid spring break .

B. automatically on the list: the swing arm driven by the automated plate back and forth, to achieve the automatic effect of a wound.! ~ 3d?

Note: Automatic watch has a spring return device, so the unhappy chain, when the stop watch gone, so long as the last few laps winding walk to the other to rely on hand when the wearing of the swing to achieve the effect on the chain.




Second, Quartz quartz watch:?

Refers to the watch battery and crystal oscillator used to calculate and display the time, its movement is manufactured by the frequency of the quartz, and now can be divided into common Analog quartz watches and digital quartz watch, the biggest feature is accurate, the normal temperature range, the monthly error is about + - 15-20 seconds.

A. Analog quartz watches: the use of battery power to produce the frequency of quartz, and then using IC board divider and control coil and magnetic car, drive gear and rotate it a pointer, at which time, the minute hand is basically driven by electricity .. O

B. Digital quartz watches: Analog quartz watch basic principles and the same, but it does not gear, but directly to the liquid crystal film (LCD) to display the time.

Note: lC board walk normally for a long time, the contact point will be accumulated dirt or moisture, so also, and mechanical, like 2,3 years, maintenance of a wash oil, and wear for long periods of time is best to remove the battery to avoid battery fluid board out of the corrosion, wet weather in some areas, the choice of Japanese battery, would be more suiwatch.

Third, solar watch:

Solar cell is made using high purity silicon, this special treatment after the formation of two layers of silicon thin layer, when the sun or light exposure to the silicon surface, will be able to light into photocurrent and photovoltage. Current flows from the high voltage to low voltage solar cell watch battery and can be recharged. In order to prevent the inflow of solar watches the voltage is too high, and the internal resistance of the diode to act as a buffer to protect the watch battery and life.

Note: regular check of course, is ineviwatch, and the other to note that replacing the battery must be used to take plastic or bamboo forceps, using metal forceps easily lead to short circuit.


Fourth, automatic quartz watches:& \

It is the automatic watch with a combination of quartz watches, wearers of its power source from the swing arm automatic disk drive watch rotation, the kinetic energy generated by the system of micro-generation within the motor into energy for quartz watch device to provide adequate electricity, the excess energy stored will be micro-capacitors. The use of mechanical energy into electrical energy design, after today's technology continues to improve, the full energy, the sustainable operation of up to tens of days. Automatic quartz watch with automatic chain of convenience on the watch with the precision quartz watch, and without the use of batteries, more environmentally friendly, there are more and more brands make this type of watch.

Note: To regular maintenance, and avoid watchs placed in the local magnetic

Fifth, hand chain quartz:

SElKO Group from Japan, published in 1998 Spring Drive technology, most of the structure is identical with the mechanical watch, but the core of the mechanical watch escapement structure of a part of the structure using a quartz oscillator, so Some people think that it should belong to the quartz watch is, but strictly speaking Spring Drive technology actually be derived from mechanical design, because the quartz oscillator and magnetic car is in the Spring Drive above as "brake" effect, timing, power components source still comes from the barrel, provided by the quartz oscillator signals for consecutive points to put the magnetic car action to contain the second hand, so watch with Spring Drive technology, such as mechanical watches the second hand is a little bit like stepping, Because of the frequency with quartz oscillator core, so although regarded as mechanical watches, but have a month + - 15 seconds of high precision, but also where the reach of mechanical watches
