Mechanical wristwatches – from diving watches to surfing watches
Today, mechanical wristwatches are primarily viewed as beautiful pieces of jewelry and timepieces. For a long time, they also had important functions, especially as sports watches, which were essential for some activities and even professions. So divers have relied on their diving watches to calculate their diving time. The same applies to sailors and sailor watches as well as to pilots and pilot watches. Today, mechanical automatic watches are rarely used as full-fledged instruments.
With diving watches (buy cheaply), the timepieces only serve as a back-up instrument. Very few scuba divers actually use their diving watch during the dive. Ironically, the watches are simply too valuable and high quality to really take them into the water and expose them to salt water. In principle, such special watches are definitely made to be used in extreme situations. They are robust and high quality enough to withstand even difficult conditions.

Watch straps - the tip of the scales
Watchbands are quite a science in their own right. Particularly popular are watches, in which the wearer can exchange the bracelets themselves. The stylish loops give a wristwatch an individual and unique look. They come in several variants: These include above all metal bracelets, leather bracelets and plastic bracelets, often as Sport Armband like that Apple Watch Sport Loop (test) .
The selection of high-quality bracelets for most mechanical wristwatches is very large. If you would like to have a little variety more often, you will surely find a new, chic and stylish bracelet for your timepiece that can give a watch a completely new look.
Wristwatches care and revision
Of course, you should also care for and clean your watch. Especially if you are in chlorinated water or seawater If you are, then you should definitely rinse the watch with fresh water. In addition, the clock should of course be regularly trimmed and polished with a microfiber cloth. Also, watches that are considered to be particularly waterproof, such as diving watches, must be checked regularly and checked, because otherwise quite well water can occur and the movement can be damaged. In general, it is said that high-quality wristwatches have to be revised every four to five years to be checked for their functionality.
Automatic wristwatches – jewelry and statements for special occasions
My conclusion
Mechanical wristwatches are still very popular today. They are real pieces of jewelry that are very noticeable in the exposed position on the wrist. There has probably never been such a large selection of mechanical automatic watches as there is today. There is the right piece of jewelry for every taste. Anyone who sees mechanical wristwatches as jewelry and less from their functional side will always find enough reasons to wear a chronograph or chronometer. As an essential vacation gadget and an important piece of travel gear, you can pack a smartwatch for those tough missions and a mechanical watch for all important social occasions. It is significantly inferior to the smartwatch in terms of its range of functions
