A watch is a timepiece that is made to be worn on a person. The term now usually refers to a wristwatch, which is worn on the wrist with a strap or bracelet. In addition to the time, modern watches often display the day, date, month and year, and electronic watches may have many other functions.

Most inexpensive and medium-priced watches used mainly for timekeeping are electronic watches with quartz movements. Expensive, collectible watches valued more for their workmanship and aesthetic appeal than for simple timekeeping, often have purely mechanical movements and are powered by springs, even though mechanical movements are less accurate than more affordable quartz movements.

Before the inexpensive miniaturization that became possible in the 20th century, most watches were pocket watches, which often had covers and were carried in a pocket and attached to a watch chain or watch fob. Watches evolved in the 1600s from spring powered clocks, which appeared in the 1400s.

How come I kill watches when i wear them?
Q. This has been going on for years. But when I wear my watches, they slow down, or just die. I go thru watches like others go thru contacts. Doesnt even matter what type of watch!! This is not only driving me crazy, but it isnt cheap having to buy new watches. And yes, in my life I need to know what time it is and need to have a watch. And no, it doesnt have anything to do with the area I am in. Can someone please explain this? Thank you so much!

A. My Father and I share your concern because we both had this problem. We could walk into a room with a TV playing and disrupt the picture. I did the same thing, went through watches like no tomorrow. What I ended up doing was getting a pocket watch. It worked forever. Not the battery kind, but the wind up yourself kind. You just have to remember to wind it once a day. And just because it is normal for a guy to wear and use a pocket watch doesn't mean you can't. In this day and age, you should try it.

A. Yes they are to accessorise and display with pride, You wouldn't spend hundreds or thousands on a watch just to tell time, that's why men such as myself have various designer watches for corresponding outfits. If you're not dressing to impress, then get a $15 watch from walmart...
