Deciding on a new watch style means first knowing what is available out there. Understanding the terminology and the types of timepiece available is also key to understanding what you are getting and how much you should expect to pay. Movado may make fantastic timepieces, but they might not offer the style you prefer. Below are some of the different watch styles available right now:
• Chronographs; a chronograph is simply a timepiece that is equipped with a stopwatch function. Now, there are many different types of chronographs available, from the sporty looking to the very elegant. If you need a chronograph, pay the extra money for that complication, but if you aren't going to be using it, take a pass and save a few dollars.
• Chronometers; a chronometer is not really a style of watch, but definitely worth mentioning and explaining. A chronometer is mechanical timepiece that has been put through specially designed tests, making it highly accurate. Only mechanical movements can be designated as chronometers and this designation add to the price of the piece.
• Luxury watches; high end luxury collections are offered with many opulent features. Many of these timepieces will come with diamonds and most are crafted in stainless-steel and gold.
• Sport timepieces; these models are generally functional. They might come with chronographs, laptimers, and even GPS capabilities.
The sport models can be very water resistant, especially the dive models.
Styles and types of timepieces are abundant. Before you start shopping for your new timepiece...know the territory well.
